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.
My students are some of the sweetest kiddos out there! We are a Title I school located in Dallas, Texas with a diverse student population made up of mostly English and Spanish speakers. We have students from all over the world who are engaged and excited about learning and being at school. My students have hearts and minds that are bigger than Texas!
I really wish to engage my students this year in math with more room transformations and experiences!
My Project
Students learn best when they have learning experiences, not just lessons. I have found that on days when our room is turned into a restaurant or jungle, my students grasp onto the concepts easier and are highly engaged with their learning. Transforming my classroom will increase student involvement and curiosity in the math content I teach.
All of our transformations will focus on different aspects of math throughout the year in an engaging way!
The Italian restaurant allows students to review what we know about fractions while seeing how fractions are used in real life. The checkered tablecloths and the chef hats allow them to play the part. The campfire makes our camping transformation come to life and will give us a cozy place to gather and learn. The construction cones, tape, helmets, and vests will create a construction zone that will "cement" area and perimeter in their minds.
I can't wait to create a learning experiences that will stick with them long beyond fourth grade with your help!
