it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My classroom is a combination 2nd and 3rd grade classroom of gifted children. The students in my gifted classroom are able to process information at a higher level than most students their age.
In my classroom, we focus on exposure to science and math-based job opportunities, STEM projects, hands-on lessons, and project-based learning.
The students in my class need less repetitions than most kids their age need to master information, so we are able to move at a faster pace than their grade-level peers.
My Project
Research shows that social and emotional learning supports academic success. This project includes 41 pictures book that will drive discussions and help build a positive classroom learning environment that will support our rigorous academic content.
Gifted students tend to suffer from many social and emotional struggles varying from perfectionism to underachievement.
Gifted students especially need social and emotional lessons to learn self-regulation, growth mindset, and coping strategies.
The lessons in this curriculum will help my students be successful both in school and in their daily lives. The picture books in this project support the MindUP mindfulness curriculum created by the Hawn Foundation to be used in schools. MindUP is a 15-week cross-curricular program that teaches students about the parts of the brain and how to be a mindful school and global citizen.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
