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

My first graders are a smart and energetic group of kids who have big dreams and the drive to make them come true! Each one of them comes to school each day with excitement and a desire to gain knowledge despite their poverty and socioeconomic issues.

The students at my school are racially diverse, and many face the added challenge of being English language learners.

They are an awesome group of kids who deserve to learn in a comfortable, resource-filled environment!

My Project

Since my students began learning from home there is one thing they use more than any other material...dry erase markers! We use them every day, in every subject! They use them for phonics to build words, writing to build sentences, math to create number sentences, and science and social studies to capture their thinking.

They love dry erase markers because it gives them the fine motor practice they need and they can take risks in their learning because wrong answers can easily be erased!

My kids are going through these like water and I have already shared all I have with them. Please help my students build confidence in their writing and improve their fine motor skills while learning from home!
