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 have the honor of teaching a group of unique students that come from a wide range of social backgrounds. Each of my students bring something unique to the classroom as a whole.

In Special Education it is important to address the learning style of all students, thus in order to do so it is even more important to identify student interests, while also allowing students to build on the strengths that they already obtain.

I take passion in providing my students with a space to explore the beauty of literature, and I look forward to introducing my students to specific books that foster the development of confidence toward personal achievement and academic success.

My Project

This project will give students the opportunity to engage with literature that they can easily relate to. Students will interact with the text and reflect on their own behavior as they connect their personal experiences with the author's.

As students read, they will begin to establish their own keys to life and refer to their self established keys throughout the school year.

As young people navigate their lives it is important to acknowledge how they should be in the world.

The Keys will provide the platform for students to engage in meaningful reflection and discussion, which will benefit their overall growth and development.
