Celebrating 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 teacher of a multi-age 3/4 group of 90 students. I teach science and social studies. In my class we do a LOT of making. We love to get our hands moving and seeing what we can create. Many of these students don't get a ton of chances to express themselves creatively.
Every quarter we focus on a different unit of study.
Which means lots and lots of projects! We use a variety of materials in my room and the students truly enjoy the creative outlet throughout their days.
With the art materials in my project, I hope to give students the opportunity to continue to create lots more projects using a variety of mediums. It's important for me to provide them with choices, and when we have access to materials, it makes it fun and easy.
I also included lots of reusable building materials. In my room, I have a maker space for students to create anything that their heart desires. They get the opportunity to build everyday, and never seem to get tired of it. I would love to get even more materials for them to use in order to get their creative juices flowing and exposed to a variety of materials.
Also, I included some things for my classroom (teacher materials, flex seating, books, etc.). These are things I hope to improve my classroom and its culture. I always want students to feel welcome and comfortable in my classroom. These extra things will make it feel like home away from home for students!
More than half of students from low‑income households
