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'm a first year teacher and so excited to get started. I will be teaching 4th grade in Charleston, SC. This is a Title I school in an urban community. Because we are a Title I school, my students come from a low income population and they thrive when they have proper materials. My students may not always have materials at home to help them learn and complete assignments.

My students will be learning virtually and I'd like to make a connection with them.

Resources are very limited this year due to Covid-19.

My Project

As a first year teacher, I would like to help my students with materials they can use while learning from home. Such as pencils, dry erase pockets and clipboards.

Since this is my first year teaching, I feel materials I can use for classroom management procedures such as the doorbell and buzzers, will help me keep my students engaged and excited about learning.

As a Language Arts teacher, I will use the sticky pads to make anchor charts to help my students remember key concepts while working on their assignments.
