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

I teach 25 Kindergarten students from various backgrounds with a diverse range of learning needs. They are a wonderful group of children, who are lively, bright, and curious. They come in every morning ready to take on the day with their energy! They impress me daily with their bravery to try new things and come up with thoughtful questions and ideas.

My students love opportunities to move around the classroom and work with their peers.

It really is the heart of so many things we do. I watch them practice active listening skills, while finding their voice by sharing what they know/think. I have noticed that they are most motivated to learn when they are able to move around and work in productive partnerships.

My Project

Kindergarten is a huge step for children and it comes with higher academic and behavioral expectations. COVID has only made that transition more challenging. I am hoping to create more opportunities for my students to move around the classroom comfortably and safely for small group work (reading, phonics, etc).

My goal is to create a calm and encouraging environment that caters to the whole child.

Children need breaks, positive reinforcement, and creative outlets. Play-doh is a good outlet for brain breaks and prizes will motivate them and reward their efforts.
