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 am a special education teacher to an amazing group of third and fourth graders all of which have their own unique qualities, talents and strengths. The students in my classroom also have their own unique set of challenges such as learning disabilities, emotional impairments, autism, ADHD, and physical/otherwise health impairment.

I believe EVERY child has the ability to be successful in school, regardless of age, race, ability or disability.

They deserve a classroom that is conducive to their learning needs.

My Project

The Osmo Detective Agency will allow my students the ability to develop focus, observation skills, and attention to detail. Students work together to solve puzzles, analyze data, and work out solutions in 7 cities.

It will inspire my students to DREAM BIG and let them know the world is so much bigger than the city that they live in.

Each student will use the technology that we have so graciously been given to explore the world! Learn about famous cities, their landmarks, history, and culture. Discover hundreds of clues in famous cities from around the world, including Paris, Beijing, New York, and more!

This is a fresh, exciting way for students to be actively engaged and to take charge of their learning. The Big Joe Bean Bag chairs will allow for more flexible seating options in our reading center. It also provides for optimal learning experiences!
