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 20 students are members of a third grade inclusion classroom in the middle of a large city. Inclusion classrooms in our district combine general education students (75%) and students with special needs (25%). Together, these diverse learners tackle grade-level content and standards.

They are eager to explore new academic content each day, and they learn best through hands-on experiences.

I am eager to build a comfortable and inspiring classroom environment, where students feel cared for and are engaged in learning.

My Project

In preparation for the coming year, I am hoping to fund classroom literature and supplies.

Books included in this project will expose students to stories of kindness and empathy, relevant to their learning and growing.

These texts will inspire beginning of year writing assignments and discussions. Together, we will set the tone for a successful, memorable year amidst strong classroom community.

Highlighters will support students as writers. This year we will color-code all writing to strengthen use and understanding associated with claim, best evidence and reasoning.

Whiteboard work (supported by colorful dry erase markers, boards, chart paper and dots) is a preferred method of sharing math problem-solving and phonics strategies.
