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 in a New York public elementary school that serves a diversity of learners. In our school, the populations of students vary greatly with students who receive special education services, students who are gifted and talented, and students who are on the Autism Spectrum. There are a number of learning styles that are represented by our school and especially in our classroom!

The future first-grade students in my classroom are individuals in so many ways.

The students coming into our classroom this year come from different ethnic and racial backgrounds, socioeconomic statuses and familial backgrounds.

My Project

We want to allow the students the opportunity to have morning tubs as a "soft-start" each morning. This will allow them to spend time building relationships with their classmates through creative collaboration and student choice.

A "soft start" in a classroom is an approach to learning that fosters an environment where children feel invested in their learning from the moment they arrive.

The soft start provides the students with a calm and low-stress way to begin the day where individual learning is taking place. The students are given a variety of choices from the moment they enter the classroom on what they would like to explore that day. This allows students to feel that their wonderings are important to us as their teachers. While the students are participating in the soft start, we will able to check in with students to ensure that their day starts off on a positive note. Morning Tubs will change our first grade classroom in letting children know they can take part in their learning from the first day of school.
