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

We have a very unique group of students here at Paragon Mills. The majority of our students are English Learners, representing over 14 spoken languages. English Learners make up over 67% of my class this year. Many of our students are immigrants and refugees. Many of our students are living in poverty. Despite these challenges and obstacles, they are excited to be at school each day and eager to learn. I have been at Paragon Mills for 7 years and there is no place I would rather be. These students have my heart!

My Project

While this may seem like a random assortment of items, each one will help enhance my students' kindergarten experience.

This school year brought many unique and unanticipated challenges.

I always do my best to give my students the best kindergarten year possible. These items will help me do just that.

Dry erase board and markers help us get valuable writing, phonics, and math practice while cutting down on paper clutter.

Book tubs will help us organize our book center and the instructional books provided by our district's new curriculum.

Printer ink is a necessity for any classroom teacher! Having plenty of ink will allow me to create engaging and meaningful center activities for my students.

The school boxes will be used to organize my centers so students can take them to their seats, since they must stay at their tables due to COVID restrictions.

The chair leg protectors will help cut down on distracting noise in our classroom. Students have to stay in their chairs for much of the day and it is a kindergartener's natural inclination to wiggle and fidget. The chair leg protectors would allow my students to remain engaged in their seats without the squeaking noise that gets them off task so often.

Thank you for considering our project!
