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.

I am a fifth grade teacher in a pre k-8th grade school. Most of my students come from very low economic family status. My students all come from lower income families. Many of these children face poverty, violence and obscenities of life on a daily basis, that are well beyond what most of us could imagine. Yet my students do their best to learn. I try my best to give them a good education and an introduction to the American way of life, but with limited resources there are many things that others consider basic parts of education that I cannot provide without assistance. Many of them never get the opportunity to leave not only the city of Bridgeport they live in, but also the state of Connecticut. Having the opportunity to use Time for Kids in my classroom as a supplement will give me he opportunity to discuss current events that are occurring in our world today. My students are the future leaders of today's world. Using Time for Kids will give me the opportunity to have discussions with my students on a level that the regular curriculum does not adhere to. Their inquisitive minds will one day help our towns and countries to grow and prosper. Time For Kids magazine will give my students the opportunity to broaden their knowledge. Using this magazine will give my students the opportunity to not only write responses to what they have rad, but share personal opinions with their fellow classmates.
