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 students arrive at school ready and eager to explore the world around them through books. My students come from a low-economic community.
Our school offers free breakfast and lunch to all of our students.
They have experiences and have learned lessons in life that many of the adults I know have never experienced. The classroom is their safe place where they come to learn. Our school is also very limited in the supplies and curriculum resources they can provide for our classroom. That is the reason I seek out and provide as many of the resources I can for my students. The look on their faces when they learn something new or they can see beyond the four invisible walls set up around the neighborhood is priceless!
My Project
For this project, I am requesting Focus Finger Highlighters to help my students focus and improve their reading skills. It is difficult to have my students focus on the words and guide them through a computer screen. They will be something fun they can use and it will help them focus on the words as we read the books. I have also included sketchpads that will be used by two classes.
We take a brain break daily that allows the students to do something different from the daily rigorous lessons.
The students practice their listening and following directions skills as they watch and learn how to draw and color. They enjoy drawing and sharing their final product with all of their classmates. In the end, they support each other by cheering for each other's final product.
These sketchbooks will allow them to keep their artwork together because they are currently using just random sheets of either white or loose-leaf paper.
