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

My awesome second graders come from a very low socioeconomic background with some falling below the poverty line. They are mainly English language learners (80%), and many of them live in homes which house multiple families under the same roof.

On average, 2 or 3 students in my classroom are considered homeless and struggle to find suitable housing.

They qualify for assistance through the McKinney Vento Homeless Assistance Act. Some of my students are latchkey children. Some of these seven- and eight-year-olds have the sole responsibility of taking care of their younger siblings while their parents are working. Many of their parents have more than one job.

Our school is Title I and 80% of the children receive free or reduced-price breakfast and lunch. My children have extremely limited access to technology in their homes, yet, with all these obstacles, my students come to school with much enthusiasm and an eager desire to learn. As a teacher, I am very passionate about bringing STEAM to my classroom on a weekly basis. I feel that STEM provides students with the 4 C's: collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, ​and communication.

My Project

As a teacher, I constantly strive to find ways to make learning engaging and challenging for all learners. Recently, I came across VersaTiles. VersaTiles is an active alternative to practice workbooks. It combines the challenge of a puzzle with standards-aligned skills practice, helping students develop fluency with key concepts and integral skills. Students select a skill that they want to work on, answer the related questions using the VersaTiles (matching the VersaTiles to the correct answers) then when completed, the student will flip it over to see if his/her VersaTiles pattern matches with the correct pattern. Will you me bring these wondrous manipulatives to my eager learners?
