Celebrating 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.
I have the distinct pleasure of working with some of the most challenged yet hardest working students in our district. We are the largest Title One elementary school in our town and our needs are vast. Students backgrounds span the spectrum from homeless to very advantaged. Over the 12 years the I've been at our site I have watched our student population need increase exponentially. Our attendance area was hit hard with the economic downturn some years back and although the economy is growing, the population we serve continues to struggle greatly.
Building relationships, engaging students, meeting students at their level, and holding high expectations are my top priority.
I have learned that students thrive when they feel loved, are given structure, and are pushed to give their personal best. I love what I do and who I serve. I truly believe I have our next leaders in my classroom, and I strive to help them see and reach their potential.
My Project
I want to transform my classroom into a place where students are comfortable, engaged, energized, and collaborating.
If I can create memorable experiences for my students they are going to learn better and retain more.
Through room transformations, my students will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the characters and scenarios in order to apply the skills and strategies we've been working on in class. We can become secret spies as we look at text evidence to find clues about our story structure. We will review grade level content while following the clues to escape our classroom. Each clue leading us to a combination, unlocking a box which contains more grade level content, until we have successfully broken out (and reviewed our content standards.) Using trivia and games such as Jenga we will be able to review grade level content while having a little friendly competition. Students can take front and center stage as they present their projects in style, complete with stage lighting and our microphone.
Through flexible seating options students are able to comfortably collaborate in groups on the floor, around a large table, or at a desk. Special seating options can also be earned through acts of kindness, hard work, and reaching goals and milestones. The more seating options we have, the more the students will work to have the opportunity to use them.
