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

My students are imaginative, resilient, and eager to learn! I teach literacy, math, science, health, and social studies to a class of twenty-four enthusiastic second graders. My second graders and I miss being in the classroom! In the past, their favorite time of day was reading aloud. At this time they are resilient as we make the best of virtual learning.

Even though these tough times we are always looking for inventive ways to fund our learning adventures.

This is my thirteenth year of teaching. I can't wait to make this the best year for my students by creating a better learning environment for them to enjoy even if it's virtually!

My Project

While my students are learning from home I need to think of new and creative ways to engage them in learning. I want to make my second grader's virtual learning experience look as close as I can to our classroom. I plan on using the calendar to start our morning video meetings. The number chart is going to be used as a math manipulative to support my second graders with number sense. The computer stand and lighting are in order for me to create videos for families that can't make it to our video conference calls.
