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 Project

The past few years have been difficult on students both socially and academically. Kids learn best throughout hands on, social interactions. The tools that are part of this project will help students share their thinking with each other in small groups and with our whole class.

Students get excited when they are creating, but still need support when collaborating.

Students are most engaged when problem solving and innovating with each other. As my students continue to investigate ideas in reading, writing, math, and integrated units of study, their enthusiasm is always heightened when they are working together.

My students love challenges both inside and outside of the classroom. We have grown as a classroom community and enjoy shared experiences that require teamwork. These resources will provide both recess and classroom tools for students to strengthen their social skills.

Help supply my students with supplies that will help them to make their thinking and creativity visible in our classroom.
