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

I have a class of 25 amazing little kindergarteners, TKers, and 1st graders who have the world in their grasps. They all love learning and we do the best we can with the little we have. A lot of kiddos have never been in a classroom before. Covid closed down preschools, daycares and schools in our area.

I am a first year teacher and I have my sights and goals to make learning fun for them since they missed out on so much already.

I am a strong believer in personalized learning which is catered to each individual child. The school site I work at is small but it allows students to become familiar with each other in the school system.

The students in the classroom come from various backgrounds in which some live with family members other than their mom and dad, some are considered homeless, some can barely afford basic needs of survival but most students are well cared for and provided food and shelter. I want my students to love to come to school, so we do lots of hands on activities, crafts, and movement learning!

My Project

In my classroom I believe in learning while having fun! With this in mind I do lots of crafts, hands on activities and self expression. We use crayons, glue sticks and construction paper everyday in my room. We use play-doh to create sight words and numbers, binders to create each child's own handwriting book, and file folders to keep all the projects created throughout the year to give to parents at promotion!

I teach kindergarten and 1st grade and a lot of my students have never stepped foot in a classroom before.

With this in mind it is my mission to make school and learning fun! Covid made it hard but now that we are back in the classroom I plan to make use of every moment!
