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

I have 24 low-income 4th graders most of who are two grade levels behind. My students are very diverse as some have special needs and some are English language learners, but they are all amazing.

I haven't met my students yet, but I have asked around about the group that I will be getting.

I've heard that they are kind and upbeat. They're excited to be at school as long as you give them a reason to be excited. They want to make strides but need a teacher who will ensure they have what they need to succeed.

My Project

These students will be basic materials that will be used daily by me and the students.

These materials will allow the classroom to be structured and organized as well as allow a specific flow of the room.

The extension cord will be at the front of my room and have multiple electronics plugged into it, such as my Elmo, computer, or smartboard.

The magnetic clips will always be spread on my two whiteboards used for different things such as holding up posters that are being used for certain lesson plans or holding up learning objectives that change daily or weekly.

The storage bins will be placed in each student's cubby and hold their personal belongings such as their whiteboard, their pencil pouch, or their binder.

The students will always have access to the pencil sharpener just in case they need it during the school day.

The desk tray organizer will be placed on my desk and it will be used as a turn-in spot for completed student work. This will allow the students to have a direct spot that their assignments go to.

Lastly, the post-it posters will be used for an array of lessons such as book reports, group math, science presentations, etc.
