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
"It's OK, I'm just learning!"
This is how I always start off our first day of school.
I make a "mistake," and then we all practice saying this together. I find it calms fears and lets students know that this is a safe place where we can take chances and make mistakes together!
My students come from very diverse backgrounds and bring with them a variety of challenges daily when they enter the classroom.
Our school is a Title I urban school with the most diverse population in our district, serving over 80% of our students a free or reduced-price lunch.
Each day, it is my job to make students feel safe. I put on my "acting" hat to make lessons entertaining and fun and to inspire them to do their personal best! The fact that they have such varying levels of ability makes this a little tricky, and I've found that they are most successful when they are given opportunities to practice skills in a variety of ways both cooperatively in groups and individually. (The best part is, they often think they are "just playing." Mwah haha!)
My Project
In kindergarten, we try to do as much screen-free, hands-on learning as possible. Distance learning makes this a little harder...OK, a LOT harder! We feel that there is no substitute for good old paper and pencil so that students can improve their handwriting and fine motor skills.
WE are trying to create as much of the typical classroom experience with our distance learning students, and we would love to get some new, exciting curriculum to make their home learning as exciting and engaging as it would be in our physical classroom.
More than half of students from low‑income households
