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

At our school we are incredibly lucky to have a community of a rich melting pot of cultures. We celebrate differences, while maintaining the unified goal of setting our students up to be as successful in the real world as we possibly can. In our classroom, we build upon connections made across these differences and similarities from our cultures in hands on, project based learning.

3rd Grade math is all about exploration.

My focus as a teacher has become making math as relatable to the real world as possible. My students become excited when math is tangible, visual, different than the run of the mill. With this generation, technology only adds to the excitement.

With a high percentage of our population having English as their second language, I find a certain level of comfort in math class, because numbers are a universal language. Math is a place for my students to build confidence, to make mistakes and then learn from them, to practice logic, to face challenges with rigor and most importantly to make connections and feel successful.

My Project

Due to the pandemic, many students were limited in what they were able to bring to school, some with no supplies at all. This year, because supplies are not to be shared, I would love to be able to give students supplies to fill their pencil boxes with that they can use throughout the day such as expo markers, regular markers, etc. I have also included some indoor recess activities that could be used independently at desks, while still remaining an engaging brain break. Please help me, help my students.
