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 at a high poverty school, where 100% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch! I have high expectations that they will grow and learn beyond what is expected.
School is a safe and happy place for my students.
Each day, they come into the classroom excited about the day and spending time exploring and learning together. For many of my students, being at school is the best part of their day.
My Project
Being a chef in our classroom transformation will allow students to test their math and reading skills while being a chef for the day. Who doesn't love food? Students will embark upon a cooking adventure where they solve math, reading and writing activities that relate directly to the real world. The backdrops, table cloth, sign, banners will be set up to make the room look like a restaurant. I will put out plates and napkins along with a chef hat at each students desk. They will answer the challenge question left around the room and solve. I will check each challenge and sign their work to ensure they truly understand the concept.
Candyland classroom transformation will have a candy backdrop, stuffed and inflatable candy, along with colorful squares around the room.
The first grade students will move around the room and solve each challenge. Each time students solve a math challenge they go to the teacher to get it checked. Students can work independently, in partners, or in groups. When then finish all the challenges, they WIN Candyland!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
