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 school is a Title I, at-risk school, with a population of over 70% of English Language Learners.

This is my fourth year teaching kindergarten.

My students to come to school to laugh, learn, be loved, and to eat a healthy meal.

Our school provides 100% free breakfast and lunch for our students. We are working very hard to accomplish our dreams, goals, and, most importantly, graduating from college and becoming successful. Kindergarten is the foundation that prepares kids for the rest of their lives! College graduating class of 2038, here we come!

My Project

My students deserve to have a great year after what was considered the hardest school year ever known. The books that I have requested will not only bring my students joy, but will also help them feel excited about reading. The pocket cubes will help me create engaging small group activities such as "sight word roll" and "letter roll". The anchor charts will help me give my students great visuals and help enhance the learning environment.

Unfortunately, COVID-19 has impacted schools negatively in many ways.

One of the things students and teachers must do is wear a mask to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The Cricut press will help me provide my students with fun and creative mask designs to encourage the use of the face masks in the classroom. This will help my kindergarten students love their masks and keep them on at all times. The pocket charts will help me display curriculum in a clean manner. As we all know, students all around the world lost a full year of education. That is a full year of creativity put on hold. The utility carts will allow me to organize their small group activities in a way that is easily accessible to me and my students. Lastly, the fidget toys will help my students focus in class and will help minimize distractions so everyone can have optimal learning.
