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

The world in a classroom! My ESL students come from all parts of the world and have amazing stories to tell. They are young people of hope and intellect. They learn English while studying to pass their exams in the various subject areas. Some work full-time in the evenings and weekends to support themselves or families as they go to school.

Our students are known for their linguistic abilities and awards in the sciences.

Coming from various cultures, my students discuss world problems on the micro level, developing knowledge and empathy. Many go on to college in our city and state.

My Project

The document camera and markers will allow me to share literacy skills dynamically to large classes all at once. Students will learn important vocabulary, decoding skills, and literary elements and techniques. Students will be exposed to various genres of literature.

Students will also have access to a small set of books they actually want to read and develop mindfulness and literacy during independent reading.

Many standard texts are not appropriate for ESL students so this is really important. The stories here represent some of the backgrounds of my students, and can help encourage important connections and conversations. Thank you so much!
