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

Our Kindergarten students are 4 and 5 year olds that attend our local community school. All of the children are from low income families and eligible for free lunches. Many of the students live in temporary housing including shelters, or are doubled up with extended family members.

Many students struggle to come to school on a daily basis.

However, with constant outreach to parents and working with families their attendance has been improving.

Our students are a special group of children who enjoy learning and are always curious about learning new things. The especially enjoy reading stories and writing their own books.

My Project

My students will use the speaker in order to listen to classical music to make them calm down. Additionally we will take movement body brain breaks and will use the speaker to move our bodies in order to get ready to learn. The passes will be used for when students go to the bathroom throughout the day. Since we are learning about life cycles we would like students to get to experience the real life cycle of a butterfly. We would like to see our students watch them grow over time. The letter tiles will be used for phonics instruction in order to get the students make consonant vowel consonant words. Some students still struggle with writing numbers so the numbers will be used for one on one practice.
