Celebrating 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
Poetry, real-life heroes, the joy of reading, wolves, animal adaptations, and ancient cultures...these are a few of the topics that my students and I will investigate this year. I am excited to guide them through these explorations and participate in their growth as readers, writers, artists, storytellers, and individuals.
Our goal as a bilingual community is to foster our students' development linguistically, academically, culturally, socially, and emotionally.
We want our learning environment to be a supportive, collaborative, and engaging space, where students can develop their individual voices and have the confidence to share their thoughts and ideas. We want to ensure our students have the tools and skills to succeed in our ever-changing world.
As a teacher, I constantly grow and learn with my students, as together we explore new worlds, new skills, and new relationships. This wondrous process can occur anywhere and anytime, but with the necessary supports, it can be more fluid and constant, laying the foundations for lifelong engagement in learning and discovery.
My Project
The beginning of the school year is an exciting time. In the weeks before students walk into my classroom, I always reflect on the past year's successes and challenges and try to ensure that we have everything in place, mentally and physically, to ensure that all students and teachers can thrive and grow in our learning environment.
A successful classroom environment must support diverse student learning styles, feel welcoming and safe, and present students with exciting opportunities.
These new stools will add color and comfort for our whole group meetings and lessons. The noise-canceling headphones and desk dividers will ensure focus during challenging tasks. The crowns will celebrate each student on their birthday. Plastic envelopes will preserve books as they are shuttled around the classroom and from home to school. Paper goods allow us to be creative and express ourselves. And over-door hooks allow us to keep chaos to a minimum.
Having these materials available and in place allows the learning to continue and for our students and teachers to thrive in a positive, pleasant environment.
