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 a curious and talented group of kindergarteners. Most of the students receive a free or reduced-price lunch and come from low-income neighborhoods. I always try to make our classroom an oasis, a happy and peaceful place that fosters learning and exploration.

It is important for me to provide my students with all of the resources they might not have otherwise since school is often the stepping stone to break the cycle of poverty in families.

I am passionate about what I do and seeing my students learning and growing justifies all of the hard work that I do.

My Project

Though we are currently in distance learning, our school is making plans to return to the classroom this winter. Currently, this looks like students in desks 6 feet apart for the whole day! I am hoping to bring in flexible seating choices marked off with colorful floor tape so kiddos can be comfortable and learn throughout the day. Even though we will be 6 feet apart, I want the students’ first classroom to look welcoming, joyful, and safe rather than stark and empty.

I am also asking for a document camera to use in both distance and in person learning so students can easily see demonstrations, books, and more!

This will help with so many aspects of our learning - watching handwriting examples, seeing a read aloud book clearly, and looking at math manipulatives.

The items in this project will transform a stark classroom into a comfortable and commercial space with clear organization and space for social distancing. The document camera will help students visualize our learning and see materials up close.
