Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

It is an honor to teach and be in community with students who are so close to my own upbringing, help me ensure we continue to build the best community we can in my classroom.

The dynamics between my students and me is best described by In Lak'ech Ala K'in, they are my other me as I am teaching in the ESLV community where I grew up.

I plan to use the materials (bulletin board borders, construction paper, colored pencils) to decorate my classroom, encourage my students to work through their anxiety, and to utilize many of our tools/decorations to their learning advantage by encouraging play in the subject of English.
