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 Students

The biggest challenge for a teacher is to not have the supplies needed to facilitate learning for students.

I am a fourth grade teacher.

I work in a high needs school in the South Bronx. My students are all minority students, general education, special needs, and English language learners. My students currently are performing below grade level, and writing is extremely frustrating and is a challenge.

My Project

I want my students to become immersed in the writer's craft. One thing that I found difficult was using model writing to demonstrate to students different writing techniques. There were a few times that I was able to use the overhead projector and transparencies, where I printed model writing and students' writing to conduct a mini-lesson. I could not believe the response that I received from the children. I found that they were focused and many of the students used the techniques presented in their own writing. The students also marveled over some of their peers' work, that I used to demonstrated model writing. They were amazed to see the work on the overhead.

Most importantly, the student that got to see their work on the overhead, became stars for the day.

I could not believe how motivating that was. My students need overhead transparencies. They also need ink and copy paper for the printer so that they can type their published writing and print their work. With a donors support I will be able to make my writer's workshop a success.
