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 first grade students are enthusiastic and eager to learn. They spend their day engaged in hands-on learning experiences. My students are given opportunities to develop their social skills as well as their academic skills.

As a classroom, they work together to learn and work; things might look a little different this school year.

My students are a diverse group of learners who work hard, help one another, make mistakes, and encourage everyone to try their best. Now more than ever it is important to stay active, create, and play.

At school we learn through play, music, partnerships, groups, literature, dance, and hands-on experiences. We have fun while learning!

My Project

My first grade students have been learning and working for eight weeks. This year has been a different type of experience since coming back to in person learning after a year of online learning. We have been working on social emotional skills. We are all happy and excited to be back in school and we are learning how to be students again.

My first graders have been working hard on tasks and they have needed a calm space to relax and focus on their learning.

The calm space is a comfortable corner in our room where they can focus and calm down when tasks are difficult. Since we don't have individual items, we sanitize our hands and the small sensory item after each use.

Having individual squeeze toys for students will allow them to safely have another option to use while at the calm space. Also, having individual whiteboards and erasers will allow them to not have to worry about sharing germs.

Having the dance ribbons will allow for more movement activities in order for them to have breaks to focus on their learning.
