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 in a neighborhood school that is mostly Hispanic. It is a supportive and tight knit community. These children are eager to come to school each day to learn and grow as students. The majority of the students are English Language Learners. Most students are still learning English. They need to have hands on materials, engaging lessons, and lots of choices to help keep them motivated to learn throughout the day. These are very busy first graders who like wiggle while they learn.
My goal each day, is to provide these students with a safe, engaging, and comfortable learning environment.
I try to provide these ELL students with a variety of activities, math games, and use of technology in order to meet the needs of all students.
My Project
First grade is filled with hands on fun! Primary students learn with a variety of different methods. I believe learning is done best in a bright, happy, comfortable environment.
We need a vibrant, inviting, comfortable rug for these creative cuties to get their learn on!
This new rug will be home to morning meetings where students have a comfortable spot to greet each other, share stories, and any stresses they may be facing. It will be a place for us to enjoy funny read alouds and share laughter as a classroom family. This spot will also be a place students can get comfortable when they are doing independent or buddy work. Sometimes creativity happens best, when you are sitting criss cross on the floor!
More than half of students from low‑income households
