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

Our school is located in a large urban city. Our teachers and staff provide a safe and fun learning environment. There are many experiences for all to have, but many students stay within our area. Most parents are immigrants. They are hardworking, caring, and involved. Our school is Title I, forty percent English Learners, and all kids receive free lunch.

My students are creative and come to school every day ready to learn.

Kids love readers and writers workshop as well as anything to do with math and science. We work on projects through the year that incorporate classroom presentations and parent participation.

My Project

This year I will be teaching 6th grade for the first time! I am fortunate to work at an elementary school that still has 6th grade classes. After a year away from school , I want to organize my 6th grade students to prepare them for middle school.

I have ordered binders and dividers and will teach them to organize their subjects.

I have also ordered our first Read Aloud so each can have a new copy and keep it if they need to.

They will learn to annotate and how to use Cornell Notes to keep track of their learning. In addition the transition back to school will be a little difficult or some and I have ordered snacks to motivate them!
