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

I teach kindergarten and my students love learning and come to school each day excited to figure out something new! I love watching the light come on for them as they learn new things. They love being actively engaged, using hands on activities and materials to learn new concepts. The last few years have been difficult having to overcome the challenges that Covid has dealt us. I hope to be able to provide supplies for all my students that can used at school and home.

The school I teach at is a Title I School and the children all come from diverse backgrounds and many students are ESL learners.

Many of the children are on free or reduced price lunches. While each child comes with a different background and a different story, they are all eager to learn and need someone to care about them.

The students in my class are special because they come from all different types of backgrounds, cultures, and home support systems. Each student adds a special dynamic to our class and each brings their own unique talents to the classroom. I hope to create an atmosphere where they feel safe and excited to learn!

My Project

Covid has brought many challenges, one of which has been virtual learning. Many of my students don't have the necessary supplies to do the work at home such as scissors and glue. We also need sturdy folders and pencil cases to send the work and materials home in. These materials will be able to be used at school but if we go online, they can also be taken home. The children also need their own materials so we don't have to share things.

Our school is a Title 1 school and has many ESL children.

The pocket talk can help bridge the gap in communication when English is not the children's first language.

We also need the kids to be writing and using their fine motor skills. The writing tablets, legos and magnetic letters can help with that.
