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
What a group! I teach third and fourth grade students in a self-contained 12:1:1 classroom. They are so special!
I often tell my students "Don't study to earn, study to learn because what you learn today is what you will become tomorrow."
For the first time in my teaching career, I am teaching students who favor all academic subjects. They enjoy sharing their individuality and uniqueness when we engage in our lively social studies or reading conversations.
I admire them collectively on one particular character trait that is so essential to success in learning -- confidence!
My goal, as their teacher, is to direct their confidence to enhance their drive to learn and succeed in my classroom.
My Project
I plan to use these items to enhance my assignments and address different learning modalities while administering my lessons.
My special needs students learn best in their own way.
Many of them are visual, kinesthetic and tactile learners. The glitter boards will address the needs of these learners. My goal is to use the science and social studies resources to make learning relatable, colorful and understandable.
In this way, my students can use the information and new knowledge that they have learned, access it easily and share their learning with others.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
