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 first grade classroom is home to a very enthusiastic community of learners who are eager to learn and work hard every day.
My students need a lot of hands-on activities and visual supports in order to learn new concepts.
Our school is located on the lower East Side of Manhattan in New York City, serving students in grades Pre-K to 5th grade. STAR Academy shares STAR values- Self managed, Team players, Accountable and Respectful- and we never stop improving for the children.
My Project
This will be my first year at STAR Academy teaching first grade. My students deserve to have the materials they need to get off to a great start of the year. We need scissors to complete projects. We need the Thera putty, Hoberman spheres and the fidget monsters for our cozy corner to help students calm down in times of need. In first grade we count to 100 and beyond so we need a hundreds chart and a calendar to reinforce counting and understanding days of the week and months of the year. The wipe off boards are a great resource for math games.
