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.
My Students
My sweet students come from diverse backgrounds and bring a large array of experiences to our room. One thing they all have in common is using their imaginations and creating a happy world within our walls.
Daily, my students overcome a variety of basic challenges - getting breakfast, making it to school, and having homework completed.
Our school is a Title I urban school with the most diverse population in our district, serving free or reduced-price lunch to over 80% of our students. School becomes a safe haven for these scholars where expectations are the same every day, and their basic needs are met. While they come to school to learn, they thrive when they are given the opportunity to utilize a variety of resources to make learning real and fun. This is what keeps them coming back and keeps them hooked into learning the rigorous academic standards.
My Project
Creating spaces within the classroom where students are not limited to one way of thinking is ideal. In our kindergarten classroom, we have many creative spaces but some areas are not as complete as others. While we are in these spaces during developmental play or during rotations, we sometimes lose track of time and a timer would be very beneficial so everyone has an opportunity to enjoy each space. We also need green butcher paper and a cozy rug to make our reading corner even more magical!
We have been missing a piece of furniture in our house area and the red couch would fit perfectly in that space.
By adding these materials to our creative spaces, we are not only enhancing our classroom for us but enhancing the classroom for future kindergarten students!
More than half of students from low‑income households
