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 currently have 24 six and seven year old students in my classroom. I am teaching first-graders in a Title I school, located in a high poverty and high crime area of Pennsylvania.
All of my students receive free breakfast and lunch.
Many of my students come from homes where English is not spoken. I have three special education students and two ESL (English as a Second Language) students in my classroom. Several of the students in my classroom have an in-class social worker.
My Project
My students will be studying and writing about how their families celebrate the Winter Holidays.
My first graders will also be reading about how people celebrate Christmas and Hanukah around the world.
After the children learn about these holidays, they will each get their own holiday coloring book. They will get an opportunity to color pictures in the holiday coloring picture. In addition, they will get to write and illustrate how their own family celebrates the holidays.
Thanks so much for considering this project. My little ones will be thrilled to get their very own coloring book to take home for the holidays.
Please help us integrate Art and Social Studies in First Grade!
