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

Long Beach is such a dynamic and diverse city, and my students are a true reflection of the environment! These 6th-8th grade students are savvy and insightful, challenging and questioning EVERYTHING, including themselves and how they fit in the world around them.

Self-acceptance, self-discovery, and self-love are life-long challenges, but especially hard during the middle school years.

There are so may important changes and discoveries from 6th-8th grade. It is crucial that students have a safe place as they figure out who they are, how they will choose to identify, and make sense of ongoing feelings.

My Project

Middle school is such a difficult time; it's a time of change and self-discovery. Many children need a safe space to feel supported and accepted during these years, especially those that feel differently.

This year I will be starting the first ever GSA (Gay Straight Alliance) at my school and would like to turn my classroom into that safe space of belonging and honesty- of celebration!

All friends are welcome, but the focus will be discovering and supporting our authentic selves. This will require starting with pronoun pins, a classroom library of LGBTQ novels and graphic novels for reading and discussion, journaling, flags of representation, and friendship!
