My students need to develop effective learning skills when they are presented with exciting and engaging learning materials. We need magnetic Write & Wipe Boards, magazine subscriptions, modeling dough, post-it notes, and easel pads.
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 3rd and 4th grade students in a self-contained 12:1:1 classroom. They are so special!
I am impressed with their drive to learn despite their "emotionally disturbed", "autistic", "learning disabled" and "speech and language impaired" diagnostic classifications.
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 will use the items requested in order to present learning topics in a fun and engaging way. One way students will bring forth their best efforts in academic work is when they are motivated to become engaged in the assigned task. Individualizing learning is a paramount way to differentiate instruction in order to influence all types of learners. For example, I will use the wipe boards and post it paper for group work in order for my students to collaboratively organize and share their ideas. The art supplies will unravel the creative side of each student as they create cover pages with colorful borders to present their assigned writing tasks.
