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

My students are usually very social and talkative when entering the classroom, but they settle down after eating breakfast in the classroom. After breakfast, our day will begin with small group instruction followed by our daily Spanish oral skills. Then, we transition into our writing block where the students continue to learn the writing process. Starting in the 3rd grade, it is essential for the students to learn all three genres (informational, narrative, and opinion) since it will be assessed in the state testing. Afterwards, English or Spanish Language Arts complete the morning tasks before heading out to recess.

The paper is an essential resource for the students learning.

The copy paper will be used to print reading passages to learn about the RACE strategy (Restate, Answer, Cite, and Explain). The copy paper will also be use for math resources. These resources will help the students prepare for the Smarter Balance Assessment coming up in the spring.

The drawing and construction paper will be used to make art or drawing projects especially after the Smarter Balance Assessment sessions for the students to relax.
