Celebrating 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 am blessed to teach an incredible group of kids each year! These kids continually amaze me year to year despite the learning challenges they face daily. They are smart, caring, and hardworking!! When I tell you they are incredible, that is an understatement! The majority of my sweet students struggle to learn but refuse to give up! Our school is located in a low income area where all of the students qualify for free meals. My students often spend anywhere from 9-12 hours a day at school so it is important to me that my classroom is a welcoming, environment filled with any and all scaffolds my children can use to access basic curriculum. They know that in our class, they will learn even though it may look less traditional than most would imagine. I consider my students family and we work diligently together to maintain this feeling in my classroom.
My Project
I have a wonderful group of fifth graders that try very hard to learn each day. They struggle with a variety of learning disabilities and require some extra help. Our multiplication tablets will allow my students to build fluidity with their multiplication tables in a more hands on way. Although I have a variety of flexible seating in my classroom, it’s just not enough!! Besides learning/ processing disorders, my students need to move and wiggle to help them focus. The added flexible sensory seating will allow me to meet the needs of more of my differently abled students. I’m so excited to add to our growing and changing learning environment!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
