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 teach third grade in a Title I school. My students are at or below poverty level living in a suburb of Los Angeles, California. All of my students qualify for a free breakfast and lunch. My class consists of 10 amazing girls and 12 "ready to go" boys. They enjoy being challenged academically and physically every day. They are in the Limited English Proficiency program levels 1 and 2. My students are creative, inquisitive, hard-working, and eager to learn about the world around them, as well as themselves. In our online classes, my students work in a whole group during synchronous times and independently during asynchronous times.

They encourage each other to grow and explore their wonderful world of learning.

My Project

This project will help me brighten my classroom from day one all the way to the last day of school. My students will walk into our classroom to find their names written on the Lakeshore Modern Cursive Nameplates. They will get Scented Motivational Stickers for a job well done. My students will wear a Birthday Badge on their special day.

The Giant Classroom Timer will be a great, subtle way for me to reinforce classroom management.

It will help me to define time segments for each activity and help get students on board by signaling there's a plan. It will help students more seamlessly move from a group activity back to their desks for individual work or whole group instruction.
