Keeping My Students Safe in September

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

Each and every day in my classroom is an exciting challenge. Each student brings their own unique qualities to create the most amazing adventure. From the first day of school, I have emphasized that we are on this journey together. By working together, we can all achieve the highest levels of success. Students are expected to ask questions, collaborate with each other to solve problems, and be overall good citizens of our school community. It is my responsibility to push them to success, offer advice, and guide and direct them to maximize their learning potential.

Each student needs to know that they are a special part of our school family.

By working as a team, they will be given the tools they will need to achieve any goal they set for themselves.

My Project

While a final decision regarding how much time will be spent in the school building has not been made yet, we all know that there will be many challenges this coming September. One of my main concerns is how to continue the lessons and activities my students have always enjoyed, while keeping all of us healthy! The students are so much more engaged when they get to be active or creative, so I include these elements as often as I can. It is now my responsibility to make sure that my new 5th graders get to participate in these activities in a safe environment.

The purpose of this project is to create a safe and healthy classroom without sacrificing everything that makes school an amazing place to be!

This project will provide individual supplies to each student to allow us to continue our most engaging activities, without having to share supplies or get too close to the other students. Each student will have their own plastic pencil case full of supplies-a pencil, sharpener, eraser, highlighter, scissors, glue stick and ear buds. These are all supplies that would normally be kept in our classroom to be used as needed and shared among the students. There are also materials which will be used to mark spaces on the floor, which will help the students stay at a safe distance from each other. Colorful tape on the floor will also help guide students while they are allowed to be out of their seats. Books and laptops will be color coded to help students find theirs without touching all of them. Signs will be created and posted around the room to make all students aware of our new procedures.
