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 hardworking fourth graders that come from the diverse families of Miami. Many of my students are coming in as English Language Learners and are adjusting to not only learning rigorous material but learning in a new language. They are learning all about what it means to be kind, responsible, and safe in and outside of the classroom. Their parents can be very supportive and want their children to receive a great education.

My students love reading, and writing.

Helping develop their skills is essential to their success. They improve with assistance and are always willing to try their best.

My Project

I have taught second grade for seven years and found resources such as BrainPop and Scholastic News essential to their education. These programs were always paid for by our PTO or our school district. However, moving into a new school and state that does not have these materials available makes me want to provide my students with these amazing resources as well!

I value teaching critical thinking skills and the ability to question "why," and I believe with these resources I can better teach my students these skills.

If my students have the opportunity to learn about life going on around them through engaging literature or more easily understand a concept through educational videos and resources I want to give that to them.

Videos in BrainPop really help break down literacy, and historical concepts that a mandated curriculum or youtube videos cannot do. The videos are engaging and well thought out, and it helps reach my visual learners. In addition, Scholastic News is another great resource that will emphasize standards in a more engaging way. I have used this resource in the past and found my students loved the higher level thinking projects this program provides.
