Hispanic Heritage month starts on September 15. Fourth and Fifth graders will be sharing historical information about important figures in the Hispanic community. We will feature the following people: Frida, Cesar Chavez, and Sonya Sotomayor. Check out some interesting quotes to explore during morning meeting and throughout the month of September/ early October. How does sharing these quotes and background information support your path as a culturally responsive teacher? Please comment and share teacher thoughts and student reflections.
Cesar Chavez
"Once social change begins, it cannot be reversed. You cannot un-educate the person who has learned to read. You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride. You cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore.
Frida Kahlo
“Painting completed my life.” |
Sonia Sotomayor – US Supreme Court
"Although I grew up in very modest and challenging circumstances, I consider my life to be immeasurably rich."

I love the Cesar Chavez quote. I'll have to share it with my students and see what they think.
