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

Students from this school come from around the local area. We are located by the Port of Los Angeles. I seek to spark the love of learning to the students in our learning community.

I am a 1st grade teacher that wants to build a community of learners that encourage and believe in one another.

At this time, they are learning about the world around them. They are a wonderful, diverse group of students who enjoy building on their knowledge throughout the year using hands-on activities and collaborating with their classmates. Throughout our 1st grade learning adventure, students grow in confidence and creativity. Help my students enjoy learning together.

As a teacher, I want to provide students with a memorable learning experience that they will cherish and encourage them to seek more learning experiences.

My Project

My students are eager to sharpen their literacy skills. Students are able to do this during or learning centers that are differentiated activities that are hands- on and engaging. As they practice different learning skills, the students are growing in their understanding and increasing their confidence as learners.

Help engage young learners in hands-on learning!

The Hands2mind VersaTiles literacy kits are meaningful activities that students of levels can use to practice literacy skills. Students will be able to take control of their learning. They will be able to self-check their responses. This will help create a safe environment that will help increase student confidence. Students will be able to develop a growth mindset and help increase the eagerness to learn more.
