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
Can you imagine being 4 or 5 years old and starting school on a Zoom screen? We can't either, but it's what we are about to embark upon as kindergarten teachers this year!
Our sweet students come from diverse backgrounds and bring a large array of experiences to our classrooms and school.
Our school is a Title I urban school with the most diverse population in our district. Over 66% of our students qualify to receive free or reduced-price lunch. School becomes a safe haven for these scholars - where expectations are the same every day and their basic needs are met. While they come to school to learn, they thrive when they are given the opportunity to utilize a variety of resources to make learning real and fun. We hope that we can provide these resources for them to access at home as well.
My Project
My sweet kinders have started their very first year of school at home on a screen. In order to make this as exciting as possible, I am looking to create kits and activities that will help to foster creativity and allow them a common material to share as we learn from each other across Zoom. These materials will allow students to practice fine motor skills, and develop important social skills as they share their creations and ideas with each other.
By providing each student with their own tools, such as building blocks, pattern blocks, tangrams, and brain flakes, we can learn from each other and build off of ideas that we see each other express during our sharing time on Zoom.
I believe this will help foster community and learning not only in social/emotional skills but in critical thinking skills as well.
More than half of students from low‑income households
