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
I teach at a high poverty school where 100% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch.
My students are thoughtful and enthusiastic learners.
They come to class each day eager to see their school family and tackle academic challenges. I am constantly amazed by their ingenuity and desire to be better than they were yesterday.
In my classroom we focus on becoming learners, not just learning material. Hopefully the skills they acquire are ones that will benefit them throughout their academic journey.
My Project
We are officially in testing season. My 4th graders have writing, math, and reading STAAR tests they must take over the next few months.
These supplies will help prevent burnout as we gear up for testing.
We spent the first semester learning how to be better readers and writers. Now we have to focus on how to be good test takers. With these supplies, I will be able to make this tedious process more fun! Vis-A- Vis pens make guided reading exciting (who doesn't love writing on a laminated book!??!). Post it notes will allow me to give personalized notes on compositions. Candy is the ultimate motivator. Students who never share their thoughts vie for the chance to speak when there is a Starburst or Jolly Rancher on the table. I try to put a funny sticker on student work when they do something that stands out (they love finding those surprises on their assignments!), but I am quickly running out.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
