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 year my class is filled with a wonderful group of 22 Kindergarten students. Given the ongoing COVID19 pandemic, for many of my students, this is their first time in a classroom setting. All of my students experienced their first year of school (Pre-K) remotely via a computer screen on Zoom. Coming into school for the first time has been very exciting for my students and my biggest goal for them was to provide as many hands-on, engaging experiences when it comes to their learning. Every day, they enter my classroom ready to learn, discover, and explore.

Some of our favorite things to do include reading books, writing stories, and engaging in hands-on projects.

At this point in the school year, many of my students are learning to read harder books (leveled books B-D), learning about vowels, blends, digraphs, and solving equations with numbers to 20.

My Project

The students are using their dry erase boards and other materials throughout the day in various subjects. During “Fundations” students use their dry erase materials to help them write CVC words, sentences and sight words. During Math, students use these materials to help them solve subtraction and addition sentences. During the writing workshop, students also use their dry erase materials to help them organize their ideas before writing.

Given all the work we do, students have been using their dry erase markers more and we have been needing to replace them a lot more frequently.

Pencils are also used for most subjects (writing, fundations, social studies, social-emotional learning, math, and science) and are in very high demand in our classroom!

All students in my class are eager to learn! Getting these materials will make a big difference because it will allow the students to continue their independent work in various subjects and learning centers.
