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

Our students come to us primarily from Central and South America. Many of them do not speak English upon entering our school. As English Learners not only do they have the daunting task of learning English just to get by in the world, but must also learn mathematics and science as well.

I am working with with a group of energetic fifth graders that are eager to learn and have lots of personality!

The students can't wait to get in the building and start their day. They not only want to learn but to succeed. With the appropriate level of support and instructional materials, I know that my students can and will be successful!

My Project

In the upcoming weeks, some students will begin returning to school for some in person learning. I want to provide them with opportunities to experience our entire classroom. Due to Covid-19, I have had to remove our reading common areas where students would gather on binbags and comfy chairs to enjoy good books and work collaboratively. Providing my students with these chairs will allow them to move about the room while they read a good book or work independently on a task. These chairs will help to provide some normalcy in returning to school.
