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.
Give this project a boost!
A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
My students participate on the Spanish immersion program which is part of the Utah State DLI. Students spend 50% of their day in the English class and 50% of their day with me. All communication, instruction and resources in my class are in Spanish. They also learn Math and Science in my class.
My students are very engaged in learning and they are very good friends.
They try so hard with Spanish, and I am so proud of how much they've learned and their current ability to communicate. They love hands-on activities and working with partners but they also like to be focused on their own work if it is challenging and fun for them.
They all are unique and I like to create personalized learning pathways and do my best to meet their needs. That's why I provide a variety of activities and learning strategies, so each of them can learn; either they need extra help or they excel but still need to keep learning!
I am really happy seeing them coming with smiles every morning and excited about school. During COVID, they have missed socializing, exposure to Spanish and the school environment, so I'm glad we are back.
My Project
All the resources I am asking for are manipulatives and games that my students can use to help them reinforce the concepts we are learning in our Spanish Immersion class.
Most materials I am asking for are Math games and manipulatives to add to our Math Centers and Math shelves.
Some of them are Montessori since I am a Montessori licensed teacher and, even though I work in a regular school, some of our K-2 teachers use that approach in our classrooms. I have other Math materials that align with the Montessori approach in class and I have found them very beneficial to my students' learning progress.
Also, I am asking for some puzzles about the life cycle of frogs, butterflies and trees that we are currently learning in the first module of our Spanish Literacy program and also in Science. Also on that note, we are learning the beginning sounds to help us become better readers, so I ask for some materials that will help my students reinforce the learning of those sounds.
I know for sure my students understand the concepts deeply while exploring on their own with different materials and with hands-on activities. Since we started teaching again after COVID, I prepare lots of individual, independent work on trays for each student to work on during different moments of the day. I found myself having to create lots of activities to have enough for the whole class. Also before COVID, I used to have groups of 6-9 kids working on the same Center, but now I have reduced the groups to four students or just partners in order to reduce contacts, which means having to create more centers and activities. I am sure these resources will create lots of new learning opportunities in my class.
