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.
My students come excited to learn in two languages, as part of our Spanish Immersion Program that was adopted more than ten years ago to meet the need of our cultural and linguistic diversity in our district. Seven years ago, parents got organized and successfully implemented uniforms at our school. This has helped our students to stay focused on learning, and it has provided a positive learning environment for everyone.
I am enriched and blessed by my students' diverse cultural, linguistic, and economic background.
More than 85% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. All of my kindergarten students get an amazing and unique opportunity to start learning in English and Spanish from K to 12. Close to 25% of my students' first language is English, and 50% of my students' first language is Spanish, and 25% speak another language. They share the journey to be able to graduate from high school bicultural, bilingual, and bi-literate; it all begins in my kindergarten classroom.
My Project
For most of my students when they walk into my classroom on their first day of school, it is their first school experience ever. We will share 180 days with each other, make life-long friendships, be a team and become readers and writers. One of my goals as their kindergarten teacher, is to provide the best learning environment possible so we can have countless opportunities to become a community of learners where they support and trust each other.
This round, flower like table will provide the right learning tool for my students to learn from each other about school, friendship and community.
This tables also have a smooth writing surface that will facilitate learning and small group work during phonics, math and handwriting. I can write down morning tasks right on the table surface and students can show their work and even help each other too.
This tables will make it easier for me or any adult volunteer to work with a group of students right at their tables. We will be saving paper and transitional time but just writing on the table´s surface. Students can write down as they sound out words, numbers, practice lower and upper cases and even draw quick sketches during writers workshop to share with other in a gallery style. Collaboration will happen more often and teams will have plenty of opportunities to build a stronger sense of family and community.
My dream is to provide my students, with your support, these beautiful flower shaped tables one table at a time so they can work and interact with each other in the best learning environment.
