Make sure all students are represented in the books, texts, and arts being used in the room. Allow them to share their culture when possible. I know in first grade they read Tomas and The Library Lady. That would be the perfect opportunity to allow our Hispanic students to share their insight on the culture. Celebrate their successes. Make sure they are able to participate in all class activities. Even if that means providing extra resources in their native language.

Share with students various examples of Latin culture including literature, visual art, performing arts, crafts, and food.

We can make sure we are completely getting to know each student by trying understand their way of life. Whether that being understanding their cultural background, their different styles of learning, etc.. We can also make sure that are finding ways to incorporate diversity into the classroom lesson.

We can ensure that our Hispanic students feel seen, heard, and valued in our classroom daily by being more intentional with our planning to include texts, materials, and/or pedagogical practices that are culturally relevant (this includes getting insight from our hispanic students on what they would like to see, which will in turn help them to feel especially valued). Also, if a student's family is limited in their English, it is vital that we do not rely on our Hispanic students to act as translators. We must seek out interpreters and the resources necessary for communicating effectively with our parents.

Food is a great connector. I have my students bring in snacks that represent their home culture. This allows students of various backgrounds, in this case students of Hispanic heritage,  to share their culture and feel more comfortable at school.

The importance of celebrating Latinx culture in your classroom and school beyond Hispanic Heritage Month really stood out to me (point 7 in the article). It is crucial to make choices in the classroom that celebrate and affirm our Latinx students and families daily.

It is important to meet our students and their families where they are. It is also important to recognize their differences and contributions to our world through books, food, art and music. Showing respect toward differences will make Hispanic students and their families feel included and more comfortable about school.

We could have Spanish resources available for parents and students. Also, we could have a multicultural awareness center in our classroom. This month could be our Hispanic focus and include books about Hispanic culture, famous Hispanic artist and inventors. Students could also learn some basic Hispanic words like greetings, colors, and numbers.

We must all be intentional about how we interact with families and continue to strive to understand where they are coming from. This is key in building relationships with our scholars and their families. Recognizing and celebrating their culture, allowing them access resources where they see themselves, and not just doing it once a year but make their culture relevant each day.

We can make sure that they are represented in the books and articles that we read and the art activities that we complete. We can make sure that they feel accepted by their peers. We can allow our Hispanic students to share their culture with the class. Make sure that important areas in the classroom as well as throughout the building are labeled with words as well as pictures so if the student does not speak any English they can make the connection. It is important that the student feels safe while in the classroom.

I loved to involve our Hispanic families with sharing with the class. I would invite them in to share a story or food or anything that they wanted with the class. I have had outfits, musical instruments, and other items shared with the class. Also as we read stories with Spanish, the children would teach one another. As a teacher, it is important to have access to an interpreter if there is limited English so that you make the parent feel included.

We can create safe environments for our Hispanic students by implementing their culture into our classroom discussions and activities. I also think listening and asking questions will help them feel accepted and heard by me as the teacher. Allowing them to share their experiences with peers.

We can make sure that they feel safe and accepted not only by the teacher, but also by their peers. We can also make sure we have resources (books, sight word cards, etc) available in their language, as well as in English.

We can create a safe space for students to learn.  Celebrate growth and perseverance.  Help classmates realize the incredible amount of thought-process involved in translating material into Spanish and then back into English since English may be the student's second language.   🏆      -M Price
