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

Our students come from various economic backgrounds, with over seventy-seven percent of our students receiving free lunch. Our students speak a multitude of languages. As diverse as our students are economically and culturally, they are also diverse in their academics.

My students are enthusiastic, eager groups of third-grade students from very diverse and economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Our school is a Title I-funded school. My students are excited about learning and want to do well. Our class includes gifted learners, English language learners, and students with academic disabilities.

My Project

Our class needs to fill in the gaps of our supplies. We need books to aid in cursive writing instruction and spelling. We also need literature books to fill in sets and series.

Filling our shelves with books and craft supplies will help us add a variety of differentiated lessons.

Having a variety of craft supplies and kits will help us with our S.T.E.A.M. projects. The assortment of craft beads is helpful in making social and emotional tools for students to limit anxiety. And, making holiday ornaments will add that special touch to our Holidays Around the World project.
