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

On the first day of school, I ask all of my students to describe themselves using six word. Here are some of their choices: Smart, hardworking, awesome, organized, outgoing, respectful, helpful, ambitious, open-minded, honest, funny, productive, genuine, responsible, and curious just to name a few. I agree with them all.

The uniqueness of my students makes for an amazingly interesting group of teens to watch, mold, teach, inspire, care for, and guide.

As a teacher, a part of job is to watch for words that they do not use to describe themselves but what their actions speak about them. Some do not have an adequate or a stable home environment. Some only will get to eat what is given for lunch and/or breakfast at school. Some may lack the personal toiletries needed to make them feel comfortable being around others. Some just want someone to show them that they care about them and to feel love. It's the little thing that will make a difference in their lives. I am a difference maker.

My Project

We believe in action based learning. It helps to increase student memory retention of materials learned in the classroom and lab stations. Written test is not the only way to determine what students know. The classroom should be fun and engaging as well.

Hands Up... Me, me, me, call on me Mrs. Harmon!

The goal is to make students excited about sharing what they know, and I am all for it. Students can buzz to answer the question. Students can buzz to signify that they are complete with the task. Students can buzz to request assistance. Here in my class, we learn by seeing, saying, and doing!
