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 beautiful students are smart, friendly and full of energy. They are learning Spanish and English in a dual language classroom setting. About 50% of my students come from English language dominant families and and 50% speak Spanish at home.

They are eager to learn to become fluent readers and writers in both languages.

My wonderful students love to engage in hands on and challenging activities in science and mathematics. Every student is unique in the way they learn and I feel fortune to have the knowledge to provide the individualized instruction they need.

My Project

The seat organizers help students to have all their materials ready to learn two languages. They use 2 sets of materials on alternate days for reading, writing and mathematics. They need one set of books in English, one in Spanish, writing and mathematics workbooks in both languages. Kids learn to be independent learners and take care of their books.

The chair storage will provide a safe area where materials will not be misplaced or taken by mistake.

Obtaining the cushions seats will help students who need flexible seating. In addition, students enjoy building with the 3 STEM sets I selected.
