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

My students are 7th and 8th grade middle schoolers in a dynamic and diverse neighborhood. Our school is always looking for new ways to engage and motivate our students so that they enjoy coming to school each day. Our students thrive when they are engaged and interacting with each other in a positive, attention grasping manner. They enjoy learning through all different modalities and they love to understand the world around them and how it applies to their daily lives.

My Project

I am a first year teacher and I want to show my students that there’s more to their world than what's in front of them. I believe that teaching our students a different language other than their native one is imperative and will allow them to learn and explore cultures that differ from their own. My hope is that by exposing them to what’s different, we may help shape them into tolerant members of society.

"The limits of my language mean the limits of my world" - Ludwig Wittgenstein.

Part of teaching my students is creating and printing resources that will help them learn a new language. Becoming bilingual is not easy, but with resources such as visual dictionaries and labels throughout the classroom, it definitely becomes less daunting. That is why I am asking for a color laser printer and 4 sets of ink replacements; I want to make our classroom is as appealing and bright as possible. This way, they will want to use the resources and learn a new language.
