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.
My Students
Next September, I will have 20 eager third graders in my classroom. Our school is located in an urban setting and is comprised of approximately 65% second language leaners of English. Most students who are learning English are from El Salvador, Colombia, and Peru. 99% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch.
Despite challenges of poverty and language, my third graders are eager learners.
This project will help them become more proficient students who are ready to contribute to our future.
My Project
It's hard to sit still all day long without moving much from you desk. It's even harder to concentrate and focus all of that time. How is it possible to exercise both your body and your mind at the same time?
I would like to introduce my students to Bouncy Bands.
These are stretchy rubber bands that attach to students' desks or chairs. They can push on the band and productively fidget in their seats without going anywhere. As a result of the movement, focus and concentration will increase and students can exercise their minds and their bodies at the same time.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
