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

Our students are vibrant, curious learners who thrive with hands-on materials and visual supports. This project will provide us with essential supplies like dry-erase markers, glue sticks, pattern blocks, and a mobile whiteboard easel. These tools that will transform our classroom into an interactive, engaging learning space. These items will directly support small group instruction, visual modeling, and kinesthetic learning. With these materials, I can create differentiated centers and make learning accessible and fun for every student.

These materials will help our class participate in more collaborative activities to enhance our learning.

Collaboration helps our students by showing them how teamwork and communication are crucial. By using these interactive centers, students will understand the importance of collaboration in learning and real-life scenarios.

Learning in our classroom is tangible and joyful for all my students, especially our ELL students. Many of them benefit from visuals and manipulatives as they build academic language and confidence. Having ample dry-erase markers will allow for constant, low-stakes practice during writing and math instruction. Pattern blocks will support our exploration of geometry and fractions, while glue sticks and markers allow students to create and share their thinking during collaborative projects. The magnetic easel will be a mobile anchor chart station, making it easy to model and display work around the room.

What makes our class special is their perseverance and joy. They come from diverse backgrounds and bring unique strengths to our classroom. These tools will help us celebrate those strengths by giving them more ways to engage and express their learning.
