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.
I have the best group of students! They are all very supportive of one another, motivating, and enthusiastic learners. They are self motivated, and determined 9-10 year olds. Changing up the way I deliver and review materials allows my students to stay engaged while still learning and reviewing. Routine is essential, however I have witnessed that giving them options and using different resources keeps them motivated and excited to learn. Fir instance, our district has invested in new tables that act as white boards. We use them during math review and ever time I say, "Okay, everyone get your dry erase markers out," they laugh, smile and the room's energy quickly takes a shift. They get so excited for math review because they get to write in their tables instead of reviewing on a sheet of paper. Giving them that option to do the same thin differently really engages them and makes learning fun!
My Project
I am a first year teacher and have used the curriculum to help guide my instruction. However, just like our white board table experience, I believe that giving students the opportunity to explore the same subject in a different way will keep them engaged and make learning even more fun. I have used scholastic news in the past and I along with my kids have loved them. They are able to practice their reading comprehension skills and strategies on their hard copies while learning about other topics such as science and social studies. The online resources also help in differentiation offering tools such as text to speech audio for ELL support, activities, and multiple reading levels for the students that need to be challenged.
These sources will be very beneficial to my students.
It will help build their background knowledge and gain a better understanding about the world around them; hence, comprehend a wider range of text and information. It will offer an even more engaging delivery that'll brighten up the room with excitement and promote learning.
