Celebrating 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.
Hello I am first grade teacher in Springfield MA, this school year I have been blessed with 29 amazing first graders. With finally being back in person learning my students are very eager to learn and love hands-on tools and manipulatives to support their learning! Despite the pandemic I want to ensure my students get the best experience in the classroom and have them know school is a safe place for them! Please help my students grow this year by supporting our classroom.
My Project
The resources I have chosen would be very beneficial in my classroom. With having 29 students I have a wide range of skills and differentiated instruction to meet my students needs is a must! The math tools selected would help my students with number identification, number sequencing, and building confidence with their math problem skills. With different ways all students would be able to use these resources and tools when learning in the classroom.
As for the books selected I have noticed my students LOVE story time and reading independently.
I would love to build my classroom library and provide more multi culture books in Spanish for my ELL students.
Lastly with the pandemic and students not being in classroom close to a year I have noticed a lot of social and emotional struggles in the classroom. This year so far has been so amazing but also very overwhelming and stressful for not only teachers but also the students. I want to create a "take a break" area for my students in classroom for when they need to take a break and relax. I feel the bean bag would be awesome for this area for the students to reflect and relax and maybe read a book or draw a picture!
Again thank you for your support and I know my students will be very thankful too!
