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.
I work with second graders who are all from very diverse backgrounds and all of whom have diverse learning and social-emotional skills. It is a pleasure to work with my students and to get to know them and their families.
This year, I have a group of learners who are so kind and who love reading and art.
They love hearing stories read aloud and talking about their experiences and ideas. We spend a lot of time learning about social-emotional skills and how we treat others and ourselves. It is really important to me to get to know all of my students personally and to help them navigate this world with big emotions in a safe and nurturing way.
I am privileged to work with the students at my school. They are hardworking and live up to our school's "Be Kind" motto.
My Project
My students, like many other across the world, have been impacted by COVID-19 and the disruption of learning through the past 3 school years. We have had to learn remotely several times, for some students all of last year, and one of this tools that many of my students did not have included headphones. Headphones help drown out the background noise of homes when students are trying to focus from their kitchens. It also helps in class when they are working on a task that is leveled to meet their needs so that they can focus without the distraction of others. It also helps for struggling readers so that they can hear the directions or have a passage read to them without hearing 14 other students working on 14 different texts at 14 different levels.
Headphones would make all the difference for my students!
