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 Project

The items requested for the Glow STAAR Review party will significantly enhance the learning experience for my students in several ways:

The use of glow-in-the-dark materials, such as glow sticks, neon markers, black lights, and games will create an exciting and immersive environment that captures students' attention and makes learning fun.

This heightened engagement can lead to increased participation and retention of key concepts.

By incorporating tactile and visual elements into the review process, students will have the opportunity to learn through multiple senses, reinforcing their understanding of the material. This approach caters to different learning styles and can help students grasp challenging concepts more effectively. The unique and exciting nature of the Glow STAAR Review party will motivate students to actively participate and put forth their best effort. Creating a positive learning environment is essential for student success, and this event can help instill a sense of enthusiasm and confidence as they prepare for their exams.

Goals for this project are to provide an engaging and memorable review experience that helps students prepare effectively for the STAAR exams. I seek to boost student confidence and motivation by creating a fun and supportive learning environment, as well as reinforce key concepts and skills through hands-on, interactive activities. A last goal is to foster collaboration and teamwork among students as they work together towards a common goal.

My students are incredibly resilient, diverse, and eager to learn. They come from various backgrounds and bring unique perspectives to the classroom. Despite facing challenges, they demonstrate remarkable determination and perseverance in their academic pursuits. Each student has their own strengths and talents, and I am continually inspired by their creativity, curiosity, and passion for learning. It is my privilege to support and empower these exceptional young individuals as they strive for success.
