Celebrating 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.
Give this project a boost!
A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
I was extremely lucky to have my group of students for my first year of teaching. They were inspiring, funny, charismatic, and a joy to be around. They had a growth mindset and would always correct me if I didn't have one, an example being me drawing a poor circle and saying "Aw that's not great" and they'd say "Have a growth mindset!"
One student, in particular, told me how much she appreciated me helping her with the math last year.
This was a big moment for me and a reason I will always have a love for teaching because at her age and for a long time afterwards, I had math anxiety. Another student told me he finally enjoyed coming to school and he had made friends.
The relationships I built with them will always be special to me, as we connected through our cultures, experiences, and pop culture. We made a safe and effective learning environment where we could all wear our identities proudly.
My Project
This year we're focusing on a Ready to Learn mindset which includes having materials prepared, charged, and ready to go! Some of my incoming students have not been in a classroom in the past two years or have struggled to adapt to a classroom climate. My goal is to set expectations on what a learning environment looks like.
A learning environment is organized, motivating, and positive which is why I made the following list.
To meet our organizational criteria, we need Chromebook stands. I want my students to know that everything has a place and that it needs to be charged prior to our learning time. This is especially important in case we have to go online. A learning environment is also motivating and positive, which is why I intend to use the stamps to provide quick positive feedback and to use the goal tracker to encourage meeting class reading goals. The whiteboards and erasers are used to provide a way of academic engagement during content instruction, and the dice to provide an educational activity that will strengthen their mathematical skills. Finally, research has convinced me that fidget toys act as a way to differentiate settings for students who need something tangible in order to focus. It is my goal to provide that so they can meet our Ready to Learn mindset.
