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

In our class, there is a diverse group of secondary learners. We have various races, cultural ethnicities, and differences in economics backgrounds. Besides American-English, we have a growing population of Spanish speakers. Our learning abilities include those that are high achievers, on and below grade level, those with special needs, and speakers of other languages. In addition, our visual and kinesthetic learners make up a large amount of our population.

The students in our class are motivated and eager to learn, yet are still unenthusiastic about reading.

As a teacher, I am always searching for fun and creative ways to engage students. I would like to support my students' learning by having more options and flexibility for them within the class as a means for improving and enriching their educational experience.

My Project

Great teacher-made materials and student created activities can be used from year-to-year if they are preserved properly. During collaborative station activities, students will be handling materials necessary for learning and reviewing grade-level curriculum. Assignments used in literacy stations for active engagement can help with retention, understanding, and recall.

Having a laminator and dry erase pockets to preserve teacher-created materials will reduce the wear on and lessen the time it would take to recreate materials.

It can be time consuming and cumbersome to create the same materials needed from year-to-year or in-between classes. Colorful, creative, visually appealing materials placed around the room and used during station activities, will give meaning and understanding to taught lesson concepts. Preserving these materials is one way to have them on hand for multiple student use.

Once activities are created, they can be stored away and used for future use in the next class, or later for review, or for the next school year. However, without lamination, the activities do not last.
