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 class is a group of 3rd-grade students who are eager to learn and ready for new and engaging materials that spark inquiry and creativity. We have a diverse group of students with varying learning styles and abilities. Due to the varying nature of strengths and weaknesses in our classroom, we hope to provide an environment designed to meet the needs and rise to the challenge of students. However, we are looking for materials that will support the different abilities represented while bringing challenge and rigor to all.

Help us get the most out of every learning opportunity we are given by having daily access to materials that provided individualized instruction and rigorous learning experiences.

My Project

Help me take materials out of cabinets and off high shelves and put them right in front of students so that they are readily available all day every day! I am requesting organizational shelves and containers so that I can get materials in the hands of my students regularly. These materials will help me provide an individualized learning environment so that my students will constantly be engaged and challenged in class while promoting a self-starter, independently motivated atmosphere where students have a choice in their learning.

Partner with me to create an environment of self-motivation, rigor, and individualized learning to see students grow academically by adding student accessible shelves and quality educational materials that are available for use daily.

My goal is to empower students to direct their learning by placing motivational and attractive learning materials on shelves for them to access and explore. This method of learning gives students a love and joy of learning that they can carry through life.
