Celebrating 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.
I teach at a Title I public elementary school in California among a group of educators innovating and serving both the academic and social-emotional growth of a high needs, diverse community.
Working with my group of 33 phenomenal students I have learned kids are kids - no matter their upbringing - eager to learn, full of energy, creative, and curious.
I teach a fourth/fifth-grade combination class. The majority of my students are fourth graders, but due to over-enrollment, I also have two fifth graders. I have two special education students who attend my class for ¾ of the school day, a child with dyslexia who receives supplementary supports, and five newcomers to the U.S. - these children are English language learners, and several are students with interrupted formal education.
My students love to build and design during constructive, free choice - Genius Hour. They also enjoy playing new games and sports in P.E. My students are eager for field trips, often hungry, and sometimes in need of clothing. Each one of my students is a contender - supplies are limited - and the more I can give them the more I am sure they will grow!
My Project
Starting off a new school year can be overwhelming and intimidating. Some students are no longer in the same class as their close friends from the previous year, some students are coming from different schools and meeting everyone for the first time, and for some students it is their very first day of school in the U.S.
I have seen that it makes a huge difference to give my students some special materials to call their own on the first day of school.
Even though small items like pencil sharpeners, colored pencils, pencil boxes and water bottles are easy to take for granted, giving these things to each individual student strengthens their sense of ownership, responsibility, and belonging in the classroom. These supplies will help my students feel prepared and excited to start off the new 2019-2020 school year this fall.
