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

My students come excited to learn in two languages, as part of our Spanish Immersion Program that was adopted more than twelve years ago to meet the need of our cultural and linguistic diversity in our district. Seven years ago, parents got organized and successfully implemented uniforms at our school. This has helped our students to stay focused on learning, and it has provided a positive learning environment.

I am enriched and blessed by my students' diverse cultural, linguistic, and economic background.

More than 85% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. All of my kindergarten students get an amazing and unique opportunity to start learning in English and Spanish from K to 12. Close to 25% of my students' first language is English, and 50% of my students' first language is Spanish, and 25% speak another language. They share the journey to be able to graduate from high school bicultural, bilingual, and bi-literate; it all begins in my kindergarten classroom.

My Project

My students will start the school year excited to learn what is kindergarten all about. Families will be more engaged than ever in their students' education and learning. Everyday, we will start our day by having a class meeting to build a strong community and to get to know each other better. The rest of the day, students will be engaged in whole group and small live lessons in different subjects. I will be connecting and engaging with students and their families daily.

This project will transform my home into a friendly classroom-office for our synchronous and asynchronous learning.

An office chair, a standing desk to place on top of my dining room table, a mat and a tripod for the iPad will make this transformation possible to provide my students and families lessons that are focused on building a strong learning community.

The home-office will prevent fatigue overtime, it will allow me to stand up as needed when modeling engaging lessons and when filming other videos for families that will required explaining instructions, learning activities and games where I will need to see me interacting with materials. Having the standing desk will allow me to move around as engage students in singing, gestures, cheers, movement, and much more.

When we get the opportunity to get back to the classroom in a hybrid model, I will be able to continue to teach in person for some students while recording lessons for those students at home. These materials will make our distance learning from the classroom a better one for everyone as I aim to create a learning community with my class and strong partnership with families from the first day of school.
