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

Our third graders are on their way to becoming multilingual, multiliterate, and multicultural global ambassadors. Each year our students are coming into third grade eager to learn and up for any challenge. They are independent, comedic storytellers, understand fairness and most importantly, they will work hard if you show them you believe they can do it.

When people ask me what I do for a living, I proudly announce, “I teach third grade!” This grade is a very important time in a students education, because it’s when they transition from “lower grades” to the “upper grades.” It is a crucial period in students’ learning as they become more independent and mature learners.

I am excited to teach my 3rd graders this year. With everything they will learn this year they will progress from practicing basic skills to mastering them, and move on to develop more complex skills.

My Project

The items I am requesting will be used to further supplement my students learning. As a dual immersion teacher Spanish resources are not always at our fingertips. My students need visual aids and interacting extensions in their learning. With the Teachers Pay Teachers gift card, I can find activities in Spanish and English that will aid in my students understanding of the current curriculum.

These items are essential to have in a dual immersion classroom.The story books will tie in perfectly in our government unit where we first learn about the 3 branches.

Chapters books of Diary of a Wimpy Kid will excite my students as we have been reading them in English and they have asked multiple times for them in Spanish.
