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

I have an energetic, inquisitive and enthusiastic group of twenty-six 7 and 8-year-olds in the inner city of Providence, Rhode Island. My second graders are always eager to come to school and love to read, write and problem solve in such thoughtful and creative ways! My students are so appreciative of each other and all that we do every day. They are culturally diverse and enjoy sharing their own unique experiences with the class. We learn from each other. My school is working hard to build community among families and staff and we have a safe, respectful environment.

My Project

I always enjoyed listening to and reading the classic tale of The Gingerbread Man with my family and classmates at school when I was growing up. It's always so fun and special to read it to my students and to celebrate the story with various extension activities. It would really be wonderful to be able to give each of my students their own copy of the book to read and cherish forever. We would study the book in great detail by discussing and writing about the sequence of events, feelings of each character, the setting, problem and solution, and how we compare and contrast the story with other loved fairy tales. We would incorporate it into our math complex problem solving and data analysis activities. I would also love for my students to be able to create their own gingerbread cookies as a culminating activity to the book study and the ingredients requested would be everything we need to make our own tasty version of our beloved main character. It would truly be so appreciated to have any help at all to bring the books and ingredients to make the cookies to my awesome and hard working students. Thank you so much for your time and interest in our classroom. It means so much to all of us to know that people believe in all we are trying to accomplish and in the future of these amazing children.
