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 scholars are rock stars! We are part of a Title I school and 77 percent of my students come from low socioeconomic families, receiving free/reduced lunch, but learning is one thing that keeps on going! My students give me the drive and purpose. When they are at school, they are lighthearted, driven scholars; and there with one purpose, to learn. They put aside their external concerns to just enjoy being at school and being surrounded by their supportive peers and educators. In class, we work as a supportive team to help each other.
"An investment in knowledge pays the best interest," stated Benjamin Franklin.
In my classroom, students become college-prepared and empowered to become lifelong learners. Scientists, engineers, educators, and many other professionals are produced. My students are striving daily to become global citizens who will make a positive difference in the world regardless of their background or socioeconomic status. We are leaving our future to them. Investing in their education is the best investment you can make!
My Project
What an amazing it was last year. We had such a huge donor support and flexible seating was on roll! Although, my items are not themed, they are a necessity to continue helping students strive in the classroom. During the summer, I attended a visual arts training and the instructor incorporated scratch art. Visual arts tend to get put aside a lot in the classroom with the pressure of students achieving high scores in state assessments. I would like to incorporate more visual arts this year and tie it across the curriculum with history and writing.
In addition to scratch art, I would like to provide another flexible seating option with fidget bands.
This year I have several students with ADHD and specific learning disabilities. I would like to have fidget bands as a classroom environment accommodation. Lastly, I have purchased a class set of white boards from Dollar Tree last year and my my! Ninety percent of them tore apart and board marks do not erase. We did so much math and language arts activities on the carpet using white boards. It was very interactive. Students were able to show me their answers and their partners. They were able to write on each other's boards, and it was a quick way for me to informally assess their learning. White boards also add another level of excitement and participation from the students. It would be really helpful to have the whiteboards replaced and keep the new year momentum going all year long!
