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

I have 18 kindergarten students in a public elementary school in Bridgeport. I have a mix of both boys and girls, ranging from four to five years old. They will turn six in my classroom.

My students are in an urban school district, with Title One funding, and they are energetic, dynamic, diverse kindergarteners who possess a love of learning.

They are happy, loved, and always eager to return to school the next day. They enjoy working with their hands, developing a growth mindset and a positive environment. Each students is different, and requires different tools to succeed in my room.

My Project

My students are always working in small groups. They enjoy working in all different areas of the room, including the floor.

Having a horseshoe table will allow me to work successfully with a small group, while my other students are working on the rug.

Right now, I have tow small are rugs pushed together to make one rug, but they are constantly moving apart, causing the students to trip, or slip. Right now, I am pulling my small groups at a very small square table, which is not able to fit my whole small group containing 4-5 kindergartners. The horseshoe table will allow us to have more space to work in a small group setting.
