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

My students are in California. We are a Title I school and are 86% economically disadvantaged and many receive free or reduced-price lunch.

As a dual language program, my students learn all subjects in both English and Spanish.

My scholars work hard and need access to high-interest class materials! They deserve flexible seating. To reach my diverse learners, I draw upon strategies that promote active engagement so that all students can participate to their full potential.

My innovative scholars are in a dual-language program learning English and Spanish. My diverse scholars are mostly English language learners and others are native English speakers. The program fosters bilingualism and high levels of academic achievement through instruction in two languages--50% of our day is English and 50% is in Spanish.

My Project

The use of whiteboards is almost a daily activity in my classroom, especially in math. Using the small magnetic whiteboard students may come to the rug or kidney table to work in small groups. The use of whiteboards may also be used for guided practice and to record modeled strategies and all other CGI unique math strategies. The whiteboards allow me to see exactly what they are doing, as well as provide an easy place for them to show and share their work. Students also need pencil grips to improve handwriting, gain more control, and reduce hand fatigue. Please help me give my students pencil grips and a teacher whiteboard.
