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
The majority of my students come from low-income families and do not have a lot at home. Most of their parents work and they do not have a lot of support. I make it a priority to show my kids I really care about them and that I am there for them through any issue. When they walk in the door they know they can come to me right away with any problem. Students also care for each other.
When my students come into my classroom they are excited to learn because they feel safe and have a sense of belonging.
My students love learning new things and are always amazed when they learn new concepts and see how it connects. An example of this was when we were learning about equivalent fractions they kept saying, "mind blown" because you can multiply the numerator and the denominator by any number and the new fraction is equivalent to the original fraction. They then had to draw a picture to prove it and see how the picture really proves it, they kept saying "amazing". Moments like these melt my heart because it shows my students are engaged and motivated to learn.
My Project
Teacher pay teacher gift cards will help me be able to find resources that will take my lessons to the next level. I can find differentiated assignments so all my students are getting work that is right where they are at. I will be able to find resources that take my lesson to the next level because they will add detail or projects to what we are already learning. These resources will keep students engaged and excited to learn. My goal as an educator is to make learning exciting and get students to be passionate about what we are learning.
