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 are imaginative, resilient, and eager to learn! I teach literacy, math, science, health, and social studies to a class of twenty-four enthusiastic second graders. My second graders and I miss being in the classroom! In the past, their favorite time of day was reading aloud. At this time they are resilient as we make the best of virtual learning.
Even through these tough times we are always looking for inventive ways to fund our learning adventures.
This is my thirteenth year of teaching. I can't wait to make this the best year for my students by creating a better learning environment for them to enjoy even if it's virtually!
My Project
During guided reading students use magnetic letters in order to build words and practice decoding. For example when learning new words readers manipulate the letter tiles or magnetic letters in different ways! One way we use the magnetic letters is called Mix'em Up! Readers mix up the magnetic letter of their new sight word and are asked to make the specific word again. Distance learning has challenged teachers to rethink how to best support our students at home. Magnetic letter tiles will help my second graders feel like they are in the classroom! Help me bring some normalcy to my students during these unprecedented times.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
