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 teach in a Title One, kindergarten through fifth grade magnet school that educates almost seven hundred students each year. The students at my school come from a wide range of family dynamics. Some live in traditional households, while others live with single parents or extended family. My students' economic situations are just as varied as their family dynamics and more than sixty percent of our school qualifies for free lunch. We have a hardworking staff and hardworking students that have resulted in being named as a School Of Distinction for the second year in a row.
A large percentage of our school population consists of English language learners.
Seventy-five percent of my class speaks more than one language and often, English is not spoken when they are at home. Regardless of these factors, every one of my students always possesses a passion for learning, exploring, and creating.
My Project
My students are working hard this year and I'd like to make the One Hundredth Day milestone a special day.
A One Hundredth Day virtual celebration will be an ideal way to celebrate their hard work.
We have been in school for just over fifty days and my students show up everyday and are ready to work! I want our One Hundredth Day celebration to be special! My class is not in the building so we have to celebrate differently.
Every other month, families come to the building to pick up materials to support our online learning. My next pick up is in early February and I'd like to be able to include a bag with everything needed to have a fun One Hundredth Day celebration. The medals, bracelets and stickers can be worn proudly. They will be able to color the glasses and show their individual style. The search game will provide a fun break from our academic rigor. I will combine these items with fun, center-themed materials I have already prepared for the day.
In addition to fun items for the One Hundredth Day, I am requesting scratch magic animals masks and paw print drawstring bags for a future pick-up to coincide with our animal unit of study which is our last unit of the year. The swivel monitor stand will allow me to move my computer easily while teaching, so my students can see the white board and the easel. Right now I'm using a lazy susan from my kitchen and it's not as efficient as a stand made specifically for this purpose. Postage stamps will allow me to continue to make connections with my students.
