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

My students live in a low-income/high-poverty urban school district. Their experiences are limited. They are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom, with challenges including emotional trauma, a high mobility rate, and many other special needs.

Many of them are being raised in single-parent households, and 99% receive free lunch and breakfast.

My students are 70% Hispanic and 30% African-American. I have several ELL students in my class as well as special needs students. The majority of my students are far below the national and state standards in reading and math.

My Project

Dry erase boards are invaluable tools for teachers and students.

Practice makes progress is going to be our classroom motto this year.

Dry erase boards will enable my students to write comments and work on the walls for daily practice and problems. They will love using the colorful dry erase markers and will be more engaged than using worksheets or writing on paper, plus we will be saving the environment. I plan to have these boards near the entrance walls and have daily questions and have students write text quotes that they come across as we read across the curriculum.
