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

Some of my students come from lower class families that do not have access to supplies such as calculators, dictionaries, or thesauruses. They need the opportunity to enrich their learning with these supplies.

My students come from families that are lower income and some struggle with the daily necessities.

Some do not have the support needed at home to help them reach their full potential. School is where they come not only to learn, but to get the basics skills needed to succeed in the world. These skills not only include reading, writing, and arithmetic, but also manners and how to deal with social situations. We are trying to enrich our students lives so they can rise above their situation to become successful adults later in life.

My Project

On a daily basis, we complete a Lexicon using vocabulary words and Great Expectations Life Principals. The students must find the definition, attempt to write the word in cursive, find synonyms and antonyms, and write a sentence using the world. Currently the class has 5 dictionaries that have the words the students need to find. The calculators will be used when working in Math and Science. This will help them with checking their work in multiplication and division, but also to help them later on as we begin working with larger numbers and conversions.

Having access to a few simple things such as the dictionaries, thesauruses, and calculators will help my students prepare for the real world and help them learn where they have made mistakes and what to do to correct them.
