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

My students are in a public school in the suburbs. We are in a graded center, so the students are only in this building for three years.

I have the best students!

My students are in grades 3, 4 and 5, and we work daily on reading skills. We are a very diverse group and we learn from each other daily.

We respect one another and meet daily challenges to do our best. We are working on being future leaders and role models in our society.

My Project

I am interested in creating Literacy Lockboxes to use as small group work stations. My goal is to have these filled with all the necessary supplies for my students to be independent learners.

Organization is key to any successful classroom.

These lockboxes will contain directions and necessary tools to complete a given assignment. I want to provide my students with everything they need to prevent movement during guided reading time. Inside the containers, students will find pencils, highlighters, guided directions, with the objectives and standards attached. I will also provide a die and game pieces for games and I books for reading.
