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 Students

We are a Spanish dual-language classroom. This means that half of my students come from English speaking families, while the second half of the class comes from Spanish speaking families. In the classroom, we speak both languages. Half of the day is devoted to instruction in English, while the other half is devoted instruction in Spanish.

Not only do Spanish speaking students work in an environment where the home language is maintained, many English students are also given this wonderful opportunity to be immersed in another powerful language.

The school is considered Title I and is found in a relatively low-income neighborhood.

While these statistics are theoretically nice, one thing is for sure, we are bilingual and proud!

My Project

This project is not so much dedicated to their learning, but more to creating a culture and environment in my classroom where multiculturalism is celebrated. We have been reading a lot of books lately on segregation and civil rights movements, and my students have shown to be very passionate about the topic. I want us to make a statement to the school that we are in fact multicultural, we do speak several languages and that we are proud. Therefore, I would like to decorate my door for the last few months of school with the flags of all my student's cultures as well as with the statements "Unity in Diversity/Unidad en la Universidad" to create a community message to the school that we are diverse and proud. The items I am asking for are small world flags, yellow, green, and blue paper, borders and different cut-out letters. All of these materials will be used by my class in our collective project to decorate our classroom door with a proud multicultural message. Thank you.
