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 have the pleasure of working with a challenging population of students. My third grade students have all been retained once or twice in their very short educational career. They spend their day with me receiving 3 hours of reading, which is quite a challenge when it is not their strength. My students need more than Reading, Writing and Arithmetic, they need motivation. I cannot simply spend my day teaching, but instead I need for them to focus on WHY they are learning. Why they are in charge of their learning and Why they WANT to learn. This IA (Intensive Acceleration ) class is one that is a challenge for both the teacher and the students, but a challenge I have volunteered for ten years.

Trying to help my students understand that they cannot allow what they cannot do to interfere with what they can do is a welcomed challenge.

It's not easy, but I know if I focus on encouraging them to strive for progress, not perfection, they will begin to appreciate their success. They celebrate receiving 60% on an assessment. In my book, 60% is better than 50%. LET'S CELEBRATE!

My Project

My school is a Title 1 school with limited funding. Although my students are encouraged to focus on their literacy skills, I believe this can best be achieved through involving students in science experiments that lend themselves to literacy experiences. Allowing students to create slide shows and share what they have learned with an audience is priceless.

Extraordinary lessons v.

Ordinary lessons are the ones I hope to create to help my students gain the motivation that will extend beyond their educational career. The children will use computers to incorporate reading, writing, mathematics and visual artistry to share their knowledge!
