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 excited and energetic typical 11-year-olds--- except, they are not. My students come from very diverse and economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Many of my students are bilingual; they speak English as a second language.

In our class, we utilize collaboration and peer learning/teaching as tools to build the skills of all of the students.

We are a part of a math department that is proud to implement and focus on collaborative classroom structures to increase engagement and learning. The work we do extends beyond developing math skills into building real-world skills such as teamwork, building relationships, and utilizing resources. In addition, there is a strong focus on building confidence and developing a growth mindset.

My Project

These materials will be used to keep students focused and learning. When students rip, spill water on, bite, or eat their masks a new one will be on hand.

I can keep kids in the classroom and support them as they navigate a day of wearing masks.

I hope I can help make mask wearing easier with chapstick, extenders, and lanyards for all of my students. As we navigate the new challenges of this year I hope to provide students everything they need, to limit disruptions within the classroom. All students will benefit as distractions are limited.
