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 Project

Help me give my students high-quality headphones they will need to complete our math and ELA programs. students are required to work daily and independently on their computers. The headphones will ensure proper concentration to get their minutes complete. There are also behavior management signs which will help improve behaviors as the year goes on with minimal talking from me while improving their attentiveness, reading, and self-control skills. These components are major to master in kindergarten. I also included a magnetic stand-up whiteboard that I will use in small groups almost daily. This will be used in the writing center to help practice writing, directionality, and collaboration skills just to name a few. All of these materials will help my students with ELA standards of listening, comprehension, communication, reading, and writing. For example with the whiteboard, I would extend a listen from whole group to small group. We have a lesson about a story called The Big Umbrella. I would ask students to make text-to-self connections by asking what does your umbrella look like. The hope would be that the students could create a simple sentence such as, It is blue. They would write this sentence on the board or use magnetic letters to create this sentence.
