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

I know every teacher thinks that their students are special, and they're probably right. But, I know for certain how special our students are! My school loops with students for 3 years. If you start in Kindergarten you follow those same children to 1st grade and then second grade. If you start with 3rd grade you see them through 4th and then 5th grade. I've had the honor of graduating two groups of 5th graders. As a teacher for 24 years, I always tend to fall in love with my students. But, when you spend 3 years with the same cohort of students and parents, it becomes something completely different. It takes on a whole new meaning. It takes on a life of its own. There is a real sense of community, love, and family. Departing is the hardest part but every teacher should be so lucky. This year I am super excited because I get to start with Kindergarten. These little people are like sponges.They are so excited and so willing to learn. I hope to acquire some of the things I will need to set them up for success. After all we'll be together for the next 3 years.

My Project

Kindergarten is by far one of the toughest and most challenging grades to teach. Management and engagement are two of the top key components to success. I refuse to let this pandemic sabotage my kindergarten class.

All of the items will help me manage and engage my Kindergarteners.

The grade appropriate Botley Coding Robots will help to set my Kindergarteners on an early path to success and interest in technology. Not only will these robots be engaging but also extremely helpful in managing small groups while still being able to socially distance. The robots will help to pave the beginnings of a coding future for these curious young minds.

The whisper phones will definitely help to build confident readers. When they hear themselves begin to read for the first time, the looks on their faces is just indescribable. This whisper phone is set up in a way where students can distance themselves socially but yet be able to listen to each other read or just one on one with me.

All equipment needs to be stored safely and securely so the bins will help us nicely, to keep the equipment safe and orderly.
