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 currently teaching 3rd grade, but will be moving up to 4th grade for the next school year.
I am trying to prepare myself as much as possible for 4th grade math and getting rewards for student success.
Coming in to a new grade with no materials or manipulatives for the kids is a little tough.
I am asking for a variety of things. Most importantly, math manipulatives, art supplies, and classroom games. Math is such a crucial subject, and most kids are hand-on learners. I want to create an environment where no matter what kind of learner you are, you feel safe and supported. I asked for art supplies because the kids only have art one day a week. That is simply not enough time. I also like to incorporate art into our other subjects so kids can explore and think creatively.
I also ask for a book set that I know the kids enjoy, Pokemon. This will make it so they can actually enjoy the books they read.
Overall, school is a place where a child spends 6+ hours of their day. The classroom, their peers, and their teacher can make it a place where they enjoy. I only hope to make it a year where they can grow creatively and academically.
