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 know how to put a big smile on my face and on each other's faces! They are motivated to learn, they are curious, they are honest about their feeling, they are creative and fun. The year 2020-2021 was a challenging year for all of us, but especially for my students who then were in Kindergarten. Imagine having to learn the science of reading remotely?

They turned adversity into a tale to tell.

They are so ready to ask the many unanswered questions from last year, they are ready to show they are hungry for knowledge, to show and tell who they are and where they are heading toward. I want my students to succeed, but I need all the resources we can get to be able to enhance their academic experience.

My Project

My students truly enjoy showcasing what they are learning. It is fun, engaging and interactive. These materials will help me assess their work and provide instant feedback.

They love making their thinking visible!

These items will help them share their ideas with one another right on the spot.

We need dry erase markers for quick formative assessment during the day. We use these markers during reading for spelling and letter dictation. During math, they show the strategy of the day. We need pencils to write during all content areas and we need assorted Sharpies to create classroom charts that capture their best thinking and ideas.
