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

We begin each day by talking about our group goals that the students will be focusing on that day. The students love to help each other to get better with both behavior and academics.

I teach a kindergarten classroom of twenty students from low income households.

I want to teach my students the value of being a good person, friend, student, and citizen. Kindergarten is a very important grade for them to learn and utilize these skills.

My Project

I have requested books like How Do Dinosaurs Eat Their Food?, Recess Queen, Chester Raccoon and the Big Bad Bully, and Time to Say Please. My students will use these books to learn and discuss important character traits that will help them to be better students, friends, and people. We will read the books as a group and will discuss the important lessons the books are teaching. The students will use these books to set personal and group goals to improve their behavior at school.

This project will help my students understand the importance of making good choices and how their choices will influence their lives.

I want my students to take ownership of their decisions and begin to think more carefully about their choices.
