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 Project

Dry erase problem-solving and collaborative routines and procedures are daily expectations in my 4th grade bilingual classroom. Having them gives my students the flexibility to work from their seats or come to the rug for guided practice, the structure of breaking down language barriers across subject areas through tactically and visually modeled strategies for them to record and, most importantly, the medium to share their thinking verbally and visually with their neighbors!

Hands-on materials are essential to a young mind learning to self-monitor.

Your donation would help breathe life into otherwise "lecture-y" lessons, help reduce bilingual students' cognitive load, and allow my co-teachers and I to better guide them through the process.

Your donation will not only help our classroom reduce its environmental footprint, but you will ultimately help to increase their motivation, language development and academic achievement. The products I have selected help facilitate the development of independence, self-monitoring, and strong organizational skills that greatly benefit my students quality of work and self-confidence as they prepare to switch classrooms in 5th grade -- help us soar high this school year!
