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

Many of my students overcome obstacles every day of their lives just to come to school every morning, For some, it's poverty. For others, it's health problems. For others, it is family issues. Yet, despite these myriad difficulties, they come to school every day, in order to build a brighter future for themselves.

My coteacher and I strive to create a classroom that is welcoming and conducive to learning.

In order to provide them with the attention they need to succeed, we often split the class into groups, with each of us facilitating one. In some of our classes, we have an English as Second Language teacher and can work in three smaller groups, which facilitates learning. This small group learning builds community and gives students more individualized attention that they need to learn more.

My Project

Our classes are too large! There are as many as 34 students on a roster. I am a Special Education teacher and my focus is on our students that struggle the most. Because of our large class sizes and my struggling students, my coteacher and I find that splitting the class into smaller groups is often more effective than whole class learning. Most of our classes have three teachers--the third being an English New Language teacher. Accordingly, we often split into three groups.

Each of the three groups must have the ability to take down notes and look at visuals, but we cannot do that in a three teacher classroom without three whiteboards.

We have two but we need a third, so that all three teachers can teach their group. Along with the third whiteboard, we need more dry erase markers, in bold colors, to capture the students' attention, and cleaning/erasing materials (we have none). All of these supplies will facilitate the small group learning experiences that will help them succeed.
