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 Students

I teach 6-7-year-old students in a first-grade classroom. All of my students are English language learners and their first language is Spanish. My students are very unique. We are learning in two languages each day. We spend time learning in Spanish and time learning in English. Students are striving to one day be bi-literate.

We are working our hardest to be safe and healthy so that we can continue with in-person learning.

We enjoy being in the classroom and interacting with one another.

My Project

This light table will make a world of difference in our classroom. Sensory items, like this light table, enhance the lesson and the learning environment. Students who are excited to learn will learn more! We will use these items to support the lessons that the students have been taught. The light table has endless possibilities for fun and engaging lessons. The numbers will help us to further develop our subtraction and addition skills. The letters will give us a chance to build sight words and sentences to strengthen our reading skills.

This light table and translucent accessories are just what my students need to give them the encouragement to keep moving forward.

These items will help to support all learners and all learning styles.
