Get to know Irma Leticia Enriquez Moran de Banuelos
Irma is a senior teacher with the Corvallis School District. One of her favorite parts of her Job is reading to her students and sharing parts of her culture with them. Irma’s favorite book to read is “ALMA y cómo obtuvo su nombre” and this is why.
“My name is Irma Leticia Enriquez Moran de Banuelos and in our culture the names are long because we carry our father’s last name and mother’s last name. Usually we have a middle name so that’s four names per person. We carry it for life. Wherever you go, you go with your full name. So My Name is Alma talks about a girl who tells the story of her name. She has four or five names that are related to her grandmothers, her aunts, and special people in the family and she carries the name of all of them which is a very long name. Names are a big part of the culture. It’s fun and it tells the students the difference in choosing names from American culture to Latino culture.”
Irma es profesora titular en el distrito escolar de Corvallis. Una de sus partes favoritas de su trabajo es leer a sus estudiantes y compartir partes de su cultura con ellos. El libro favorito de Irma para leer es “ALMA y cómo obtuvo su nombre” y esta es la razón.
“Mi nombre es Irma Leticia Enríquez Morán de Bañuelos y en nuestra cultura los nombres son largos porque llevamos el apellido del padre y el apellido de la madre. Normalmente tenemos un segundo nombre, así que son cuatro nombres por persona. Dondequiera que vayas, vas con tu nombre completo. Me llamo Alma habla de una chica que cuenta la historia de su nombre. Tiene cuatro o cinco nombres relacionados con sus abuelas, sus tías y personas especiales de la familia, y lleva el nombre de todos ellos, que es un nombre muy largo. Los nombres son una parte importante de la cultura. Es divertido y muestra a los estudiantes la diferencia en la elección de nombres de la cultura americana a la latina.”
