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

This is tricky for me because I haven't met any of my students yet! I am a new Kindergarten teacher with no materials. However, although I've never met them I feel that it is my duty to provide them with an explosive range of materials that will help deepen their understandings, make them feel comfortable, while also aiding the lessons I teach! My students are Kindergarteners ranging between 5 and 6 years of age. We are located in Springfield, MA.

My Project

These materials will help students while learning math and ELA. They will have a fun opportunity to make connections and transfer information from textbooks to games.

Students will be motivated to read books where they can see people who look like them!

Being able to see yourself while reading encourages and enriches the learning experience!

Finally, students will enjoy independent reading time as we put headlights on and turn off the lights to enjoy reading under the starry night! A beautiful educational masterpiece to be created just as Vincent van Gogh did!

Mrs. James Mary Lynch Elementary School Grades PreK-2

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
