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

The students in my 5th grade classroom are amazing! Most are second language learners who have faced many challenges in their young lives. Even though many of my students are learning English as a second language, they exhibit tremendous enthusiasm for learning and reaching their goals to read on grade level before the end of this year. Their attitudes toward learning are incredibly positive!

We have been learning about having a growth mindset where students want to learn, embrace challenges, keep trying even if it is hard, learn from mistakes and see effort as a way to succeed.

I feel very lucky to be their teacher and want to do all I can to ensure their success.

My Project

Students will be able to participate in active learning in our gathering place using the easel to record ideas and notes from our discussions. The easel will be an excellent way to display anchor charts students help generate during group discussions.

My students love reading and understand that reading "good" books daily is vital to improve their reading.

The books I have chosen are distinguished titles for students in 5th grade.

Our small group instruction table needs smaller seats (stools) for students to be able to gather together for teacher led instruction. Student chairs are bulky and don't allow 6 to 7 students to be at the table at once.
