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 teach in the gifted and talented setting. My goal is to identify and challenge my students who have a passion for learning. They love Math Mondays! They're ready for every challenge I throw their way and are used to me responding with a "thank you!" when they tell me something is hard. We are implementing a school-wide enrichment model for all students because we know students excel when engaged in high-interest learning. We work together as a team to strengthen our knowledge and look at the community as a format to share our ideas.

My students are shy, bold, leaders, learners, timid, fearless, reflective, risk-takers, multi-cultural, and most of all, thirsty for knowledge and a challenge.

They come into my classroom every day asking, "what do we get to do today?" This passion makes me strive to be a better teacher as I never want to disappoint them with my response.

My Project

We are currently teaching remotely with no end in sight. My students are champions of digital learning! The skills they're learning are unbelievable and so is their resilience! They're teaching each other and me how to navigate this new world with support and class.

In our new setting we're focusing on critical thinking combined with a growth mindset as a learning opportunity to overcome our new challenges.

Every other week students either pick or I drop off 2 gallon zip lock baggies of hands on learning materials needed to reach this goal. I've found that students don't always have what they need at home. I addition, by sending home materials, I have to have access to more then I would generally in the classroom setting. These colored pencils, scissors, and magnets will permit my learners to continue their growth using critical thinking skills.

Thank you for your thought and consideration. Warmest regards,

Mrs. B's students
