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

Due to the joy of being able to parent 3 lovely girls I previously left my teaching career. Now I pursue another chapter in my life of going back to revive my teaching career.

I have been given a great teaching opportunity for a Kindergarten class in a neighborhood that most children are either in shelters or underprivileged.

The classroom I have been given doesn't have many center materials or equipment needed to enhance the students' learning and their ability to learn to read and write. My plans are to transform this classroom from an ideal classroom into a reality. This will design a creative space that will promote student creativity.

My Project

Currently when I work with a small group we have to sit on the floor while the other students work at their desks. By having a group table it will allow my Kindergarten students to focus on the lesson instead of fidgeting uncomfortably on the floor.

Small group lessons and conferencing are essential to my struggling students.

The table will provide an centralize area that the students can feel comfortable in order to concentrate on the lesson.

The magnetic/white board will be used in my small group area. It will provide a place where I can write sentences, used magnetic manipulatives to enhance the lesson. The paper cutter will be used to create sight word books. The pointers will be used to focus the children on pointing to the words while reading. All these materials will make for a cozy reading area.
