Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

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 am a third-grade teacher to 27 students who live in a low socio-economic area in Orange County, CA. This year I am working with students that I worked with in first grade. However, due to Covid were forced to move online in March. I am so happy to work with them again in person!

Learning about oneself and celebrating our similarities, differences, and beautiful minds is what we hope to accomplish this year.

I hope to create the least restrictive environment for them this year.

My Project

My 3rd-grade classroom needs a new pencil sharpener as their handheld sharpeners are not working out so well. The amount of time they take to sharpen a pencil and then have it break on them has been taking away from their learning experience. They also end up with very short pencils.

Have you ever tried to write with a one-inch pencil?

My 3rd graders need a new pencil-sharpening station.

Also, please help me give our 3rd-grade students a choice to write with a tool or print with a photo printer. The photo printer will prove to be a great tool for printing vocabulary words, visuals for math, fluency stories, writing tools, and taking pictures of each other for great social and emotional learning. Help our 3rd graders have access to daily pictorial input, colorful illustrations, and technology tools in our classroom as we do not have access to print in color in our classrooms.

Help me give my students a new sharpener and photo printer access to balanced writing and digital pictures.
