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

I am an 12th English teacher in South Los Angeles. I teach a semester of World Literature and strive to provide my curious students a glimpse of the world around them through culturally relevant and diverse texts.

Though some of my students are reluctant readers, I know that they are immensely capable of engaging with a text and making powerful real-world connections that will inform their perspectives as lifelong learners.

I hope to get everyone's noses into important books that directly reflect the lives of my students, the community around us, and the world at large. I also hope to create challenging, illuminating, and creative lessons that bring out each of my students' individual voices.

My Project

This year has brought many challenges to our students' lives. Many of our students have not been able to unplug, get outside, and connect with nature. They are looking forward to being back to school and spending some time with each other. What better way to do that than bonding over plants?

Having an urban garden to grow herbs and veggies is a great way for our students to unplug, reconnect with nature, and see the fruits of their labor come to life.

The garden will not only provide beauty, but also let students experience healing through nature.
