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

Our class of 34 fifth grade students is filled with support and respect. Morning meetings and closing activities, allow the students to connect and create a home away from home with one another. Their collaborative nature and care for one another enables them to find joy in celebrating when someone takes a risk in learning and the successes one another achieves.

They are thoughtful, creative, and enthusiastic.

They immerse themselves in challenging work and persevere. They work hard to grow their brains and push each others' thinking. The students love working in pairs and small groups. Their inquisitive minds politely challenge each others' thinking and delve deeper to strengthen their understanding. There is a quiet buzz of learning that permeates our room.

My Project

All of my students are accustomed to flexible seating. I want to make this change for them! Some of the items I have already purchased and now I need a little more help to make it happen for them!

Flexible seating and engaging materials make learning so much fun!

I have included materials that the students like to use while learning such as erasable, colored pens and squishy balls. Lastly, I would like to continue to grow as an educator and have included a professional book about how the brain learns.

I can't wait to use these items in the classroom and neither can my students! We appreciate your support!
