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

As a New York City Department of Education teacher in the Bronx, I have witnessed my students of all ages, year after year, facing several obstacles that occur both in and out of the school environment. Even though they are faced with many obstacles at such an early age, my students try their best to overcome their hardships with a positive mindset. They arrive to school every morning with motivation and eagerness. They then leave with a strong sense of gratitude because of the education and opportunity that they have received.

I work in a large Title I school with a very high population of either low income-high poverty residents or English Language Learners.

In majority of cases, it is both. It is my goal to uplift my students in several aspects, which includes their mental, emotional, social, and academic state.

My Project

Research has shown that students make more positive gains academically when working in small groups. Students are placed in groups based on their readiness ability. This allows me to better meed their needs at their individual level.

By having a variety of high-interest center activities for students to use independently, this will allow me to successful manage a classroom through rotations.

In mathematics, the Power Pen resource will allow my students to increase their number fluency and self-monitor their work. In addition, students can use the resource to practice or review math skills covered during whole group instruction. In Literacy, students can practice annotating the text using dry-erase markers through a process known as close reading. This will help them master the Common Core State Assessments that will be administered during the Spring.
