Let's Meet!

Help me give my students a new group table. As I begin a new position as a resource teacher, I will need a meeting table for small group instruction.

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 Project

I am a kindergarten teacher in an urban community. My students are very diverse in their ethnic, religious, and socio-economic backgrounds. They are also very diverse in their educational experiences. For some, this is their first school experience. I also have students who are also learning English. Although English may not be their dominant language, they come to school excited to learn.

The one thing my students all have in common is their eagerness to learn!

My students are energetic and love to share their thoughts and experiences. My students are eager to learn and participate in whole group discussions. It is a struggle for some as they do not speak English, but they are putting forth the ​effort and trying their best. I can see that my students are making growth, and I want to continue that momentum.

Our school is located in a high-poverty area and our students are limited with background experiences, materials, vocabulary, and language. As a teacher, I am trying to promote as many experiences as possible.
