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 fourth-grade students are creative especially when it comes to doing art projects. They enjoying working on art projects that are related to reading. I know this because I overhear my students say, "This is fun". Though my students possess creativity, they struggle with learning reading skills and strategies.

Many of my students struggle with emotional stress and trauma.

They struggle to focus and to engage in large group lessons. I would like to include art projects for emotional healing and to motivate student learning. Though my students have art classes once a week, my students respond to me, their primary teacher, because of the relationship we have. They trust me so I would like to incorporate more art into literacy. I just need the supplies to do so.

Many of my students come into my class well below reading level. I would like to tap into my parents as volunteers, but need the supplies for them to use. I have books to make copies from, but with the limited time that I have, I'm not always able to make copies or have available paper. I would like reading materials that my volunteers can grab and use.

My Project

I've chosen reading materials that will be readily available for my volunteers to use with individual students or a group of students. Time is precious for both the volunteer and the student so I want activities that target specific skills. I use to be a middle school teacher so my resources for 4th grade are limited. I am in the process of creating a reading resource shelf in which volunteers and student helpers can simply grab a labeled bucket and start working with students.

I've also chosen some art materials to use with reading activities.

Many of my students have suffered some kind of trauma in their lives so it is challenging to grab their attention and keep it during lessons. I want to create more hands-on reading lessons that include art activities. Many of these students love art so I want to incorporate art into literacy. I'm also working on building my art supplies and hope to create a shelf with all my art materials in labeled bins.
