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

This year I am teaching 4th & 5th grade.

I am so excited to sow into these eager growing minds.

English is a second language for many of these students. They work hard and want to be successful in and out of the classroom. They will benefit from any support a donation could offer.

My students live in a low-income area with 98% qualifying for free lunch.

Most of my students live well below poverty so their parents do not have the means to support a Parent-Teacher Association. Many activities and resources are funded directly by the teachers.

These exceptional students may learn differently; however, they are high achievers that never give up. The fight in them makes it easy to advocate for them to have the best.

Even though how we educate and how they learn has changed, we still are eager to teach and learn. Half my students are face to face and the other half are learning at home.

My Project

A huge part of learning is ownership. The best way to teach and model that is to allow my students to have unguided lessons and routines. The only way to make that happen without distribution is for us to be organized. This such as the folders, pens, anchor charts, index cards and carts will help us stand organized and structured.

Being able to move about the class freely while being apart of how they learn is very important.

The more students feel involved the better outcomes they will have. When you have so many students you must keep the structured and organized so that the class runs well with minimum disruptions.
