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 excited and energetic typical 11-year-olds--- except, they are not. My students come from very diverse and economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Many of my students are bilingual; they speak English as a second language.

In our class, we utilize collaboration and peer learning/teaching as tools to build the skills of all of the students.

We are a part of a math department that is proud to implement and focus on collaborative classroom structures to increase engagement and learning. The work we do extends beyond developing math skills into building real-world skills such as teamwork, building relationships, and utilizing resources. In addition, there is a strong focus on building confidence and developing a growth mindset.

My Project

These classroom decorations/materials will be used to create a warm and supportive space for all students. I hope to provide as many items of need as I can for my students and to make their experience in my class fun. One essential goal is to make sure the classroom space creates a welcoming feeling, so students can focus on learning.

I will use the flags, laminated sheets (for mini posters), decal, and tape as a way to decorate our space and represent all of the nations my students and their families are from.

I will use the straw dispensers as a fun way for students to get pencils when ever they need one.
