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
I teach at a high poverty school where 100% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch.
My students are thoughtful and enthusiastic learners.
They come to class each day eager to see their school family and tackle academic challenges. I am constantly amazed by their ingenuity and desire to be better than they were yesterday.
In my classroom, we focus on becoming learners, not just learning material. Hopefully, the skills they acquire are ones that will benefit them throughout their academic journey.
My Project
This will be a school year we will NEVER forget.
Plexiglass on desks, marks on the floor every 6 feet, face masks, hand sanitizer (so much hand sanitizer), and very little group work.
In a typical school year my students do the majority of their work in groups. They learn best when they do most of the talking and make their own discoveries. I have struggled this year getting them to participate in whole group conversations as they would if they were with one or two partners. However, they do respond to bribery. It is amazing how eager they are to share when a piece of candy is on the line!
As a way to keep my students motivated through the rest of the school year, I would like to raffle off "big" prizes every week until summer break. I have put items I know will have even my quietest students eager to share their thoughts!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
