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

Third grade is a transitional year; therefore students need to make use of all classroom resources.

I teach in South Florida in a high poverty area.

I anticipate that my classroom population will be made up of different students performing at different reading levels -(ESOL, ESE, and students retained) My goal is to help my students achieve on grade level or above reading mastery.

My Project

The materials requested will be displayed in the classroom and students will use the materials as learning resources. The materials will also help me create a rich print environment that students can use during reading and writing. For example, the clock bulletin board will be a visual aid that will assist students when learning how to tell time using an analog clock. In third grade students also learn about cursive, The cursive chart will help my students with proper letter format and penmanship skill. I want to create a positive learning atmosphere for students to have during the year.

My project will make a difference because it will provide my students with valuable resources.

It will help me to be prepare and to be able to refer to the resources that will be displayed in the classroom.
