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

Our school is very special because it is Waco's only public Montessori school! It is one of the biggest public Montessori schools in Texas, serving students from Pre-k3-8th grade. We are a Title I magnet school with a focus on environmental science, serving a diverse student population from all over the city! Our students come from a variety of backgrounds and neighborhoods. Being a magnet school students have to apply and are placed in a lottery with hopes to attend. Once chosen students can attend through 8th grade.

Lake Air Montessori Magnet school has chickens, gardens, goats, aquaponics and even an environmental science specials class!

I love getting to make lasting connections with my students and their families!

My Project

Story retelling is a very complex skill for children to master. It is a very important skill because it aids in comprehension and understanding of the text read aloud, imagination and connection to the text. These story retelling kits will aid students in bringing read alouds to life through the priceless skill of retelling. These eleven books are classic texts that are student favorites. These kits will give students stuffed cotton pieces with charming stitched on visuals and a story retelling boards for easy retelling. Hands on activities are the best way to aid in students learning and in turn increase students understanding and achievement. I plan to read the story, model story retelling process and let the students have a chance to use the materials to retell the story in a small group or in pairs. My virtual students can engage in these materials by watching our online zooms and retelling along with us.
