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 Project

Many of my student's were behind in Math due to COVID. My students have been working very diligently in Math and Science. They ask questions when they don't understand something. They keep on trying until they completely have shown understanding of the lesson. They have been very resilient.

They didn't attend school in person for over a year and a half.

Many of my 5th grade students were 2nd graders when they last had a full year of instructional learning in person. My students have put in the work and effort this school year, but there are still several gaps that need to be closed. To close those gaps I have been using manipulatives and models during my math & science lessons. For example the science models will help my students have a deeper level of understanding of the animal cells and plant cells.

Having hands on activities will help my students stay engaged and have a deeper level of understanding in math and science.They will also build my students' confidence.

Being able to give my students: erasers, pencil pouches, dry erase markers and astro bright paper will help them be prepared for class each day, because many of my students do not have the money to buy the supplies they need in order to be successful in 5th grade. I make copies on astrobright paper for our math and science interactive journals. The students use their Math and Science journals for reference. They can reference back for important information, formulas, vocabulary, models, and procedures for math or science.
