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 kind, respectful, and full of energy and excitement to be back on campus after such a tough year and a half.

My students are always asking questions, learning from each other, and eager to experience new things!

My Project

Students need a place to house all of their writing to not only see their progression over time, but also to have a work they can be proud of at the end of the year. Teaching English to newcomers and emergent bilinguals during such a difficult time presents its unique struggles.

Finally returning back to on campus learning, my students need stability, and so having a common folder to store their work, composition books to write all of their daily journals, and snacks to avoid hunger-- since most of my students have not eaten the entire day when getting to my classroom-- would be a huge support in the academic success of my students.
