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

My students are silly, creative, and curious. They are most engaged and enthusiastic about learning, when they can move their hands and bodies. They learn best through doing!

My students are constantly learning through movement around the classroom and communication with peers.

They love to keep moving and that is why we do a variety of group work, independent work, and whole class work.

My students inspire me with their willingness to take on new challenges, tackle adversity, and find the joy in little things. I am so thankful for my little learners.

My Project

I would love to be able to get my students minds and bodies working right away in the mornings. Morning work can be overwhelming for students right away in the morning and lack engagement.

My hope is that replacing morning paper work with hands on materials will help students to see that learning is fun and get them started on the right foot each morning.

Students will enter a classroom excited and ready to learn.

Beginning every morning with hands-on manipulative materials will help to enhance students' engagement and creativity.
