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

I teach at a Title I school in Philadelphia, PA where 100 percent of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with many challenges both in and out of the classroom setting. Despite so many hardships, my students are eager to learn and do their best. They want to be in school because they want to learn all they can so they can one day grow up to be successful, productive members of society.

My students are creative, clever and very spontaneous.

They like to move, they love to read and love lots of positive attention. Many of them are being raised in single-parent households and receive a free lunch based on their socioeconomic status. I may not be able to control their home lives, however, I can certainly control their experience during the school day. By creating a fun and safe learning environment, I am hopeful to inspire even our youngest learners to continue on a path of both social and academic success!

My Project

These sturdy chair pockets not only help students organize their materials, they also help the teacher to color-code groups for easier classroom management. They also have clear plastic sleeves for name tags so they can learn who their classmates are.

Seat sacks will allow students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them.

At the end of independent work times they will have a location in the classroom to place their materials and completed work. Students in my kindergarten class sit at tables of six students. They do not have individualized desks. They won't have to be concerned about placing their supplies in group bins or community containers. They will have their individual supplies in their chair pockets. No cross contamination especially after coming off a school year where we weren't allowed to share school supplies. These chair pockets will also add additional storage to our classroom.

Currently, making sure students have essential supplies and materials, is an essential component in helping them to learn to be organized while working. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when have their belongings with them at their seats. They almost always are more engaged, and get more work completed when they are just sitting at their desk with all they necessary tools to complete their work.
