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

I love first graders! They are curious, loving, eager to please and best of all eager to learn! They are all different, so school has historically been easier for some of them for others, but together we work to make our classroom a happy place for everyone.

FIrst graders grow like weeds as readers; just ask the boy who independently read a sight word we'd been practicing and then told me, "Miss, I'm smart now!" In our class, my students match my energy and I aim to match theirs, focusing it on how fun it can be to gain access to the world of words and books.

My Project

During first grade lessons, students don't typically stay at their desks. We gather at the meeting area, sitting close like a family. This allows me to easily scan for who is engaged, who is distracted, and who is confused. My school has chosen to replace the traditional meeting area rug with seating mats, which often become a distraction for my squirmier students, and can become a safety hazard if one is left in our meeting area.

This seating rug's colors will brighten up our whole classroom and welcome my first graders to the meeting area; additionally, with its kid-sized squares, they can learn to give their peers personal space throughout our lessons.
