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

Fifth grade is what I describe as the perfect year - the students are still "kids" yet they are starting to find themselves as young adults. You can dance around to goofy songs and they join in. Silly jokes still get laughs. The students seem to have a never ending thirst for knowledge about space science, and school is the place where they come to escape the realities of their outside world.

The amazing 5th grade explorers who journey through our classroom door tackle their learning adventures with an open heart and a continually developing growth mindset.

They learn that by working together, and through using their 21st century communication and critical thinking skills, they can tackle any problem that is handed to them.

Our students come with a range of learning styles and levels. Almost half of our students are English Language Learners, so hands-on or language rich activities support those who are developing language and those who have reclassified. Our students also come from backgrounds in which they often do not have school materials to support their learning at home.

My Project

Excitement will fill the air as students return to our 5th grade classroom for in-person learning this school year! Active students who have an excitement for learning need different ways to engage in their learning and one way in through group or partner collaboration. Whiteboards, whether they be small ones made from sheet protectors and cardstock or large ones that fill the entire desk area, anchor chart posters that students make, or digital slides that students create together are all ways that students can collaborate and practice or demonstrate their learning.

Collaboration helps students grow not only in academic skills but also in areas of communication and peer relationships.

Students learn how to work together and interact in social and academic settings which is vital after a year of almost all distance learning. Additionally, since such a large population of our 5th grade students are English learners, partner collaboration allows students to practice their English in a smaller setting.
