Team Work and Fun

Help me give my students tools to create and learn. We do a lot of group project so markers and color pencils go fast. Also learning games and activites work great for my small groups.

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 Project

My students come from lower-income houses and we do a lot of group work with art aspects to create a fun environment. I want to make my small reading groups more fun by including more games and activities that can help them with the skills they need.

We like to make posters about things we learn so we can share our knowledge with the rest of the school.

I want the learning to be more fun than just reading from books all the time. I'm wanting to do posters about space with my kids this year since we are talking about how the earth moves
