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
One of the most effective ways to maintain a structured and engaging learning environment is through positive reinforcement. With the abundance of snacks and small squishy toys, you can help create an exciting incentive system that rewards students for demonstrating kindness, responsibility, participation, and perseverance. These rewards will serve as tangible reminders that their efforts and good choices matter, encouraging them to stay focused and engaged throughout the school day.
For many of my students, having a snack also makes a world of difference in their ability to concentrate.
Some of my students come to school hungry or experience long stretches between meals, making it difficult for them to stay engaged in lessons. Having snacks readily available allows me to ensure that they can focus on learning without the distraction of hunger. Your generosity will help create a classroom environment where students feel supported, motivated, and excited to learn.
The mobile whiteboards, dry-erase markers, and erasers you provided will be instrumental in making small group sessions more effective. Small group instruction is a key part of our classroom routine, allowing me to provide more individualized support to students who need it. These tools will allow students to actively participate in lessons by solving problems, sharing their thinking, and collaborating with their peers in a hands-on, engaging way. Having mobile whiteboards makes it easy to provide flexible learning spaces, ensuring that all students receive the support they need in a more interactive setting. The addition of dry-erase board cleaning spray and disinfectant wipes will help keep our materials clean and ready for daily use, ensuring that we maintain a healthy and organized learning environment.
