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 students are explorers on a life journey of learning! Many of them will be new to the school or just new to schooling period. A number of them will have some experience in daycare settings. This will be a great transitional period for them. They will build a classroom culture, embrace their differences and experience many triumphs. They will also make new friends. This is an exciting time for them.

Majority of my students come from low-income / multiple family homes.

We have a variety of student levels, language and non-English speakers in the school.

My Project

These resources will allow my students to build a stronger classroom community as well as real-life connections that go beyond culture, ability and needs. The students will get the opportunity to have a first-hand experience in seeing the process of how seeds grow into plants. They will use problem solving skills in teams to deal with any challenges that may occur.

These resources will encourage teamwork, individual responsibility and commitment to success.

It also gives an opportunity for the students to develop their social and emotional skills. It will expand the students way of thinking as well as encourage habits which include curiosity, flexibility, open-mindedness, informed skepticism, creativity, and critical thinking.

Starting a new school year with a project like this immediately sparks the curiosity of all involved and I cant wait to begin.
