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 want my students to be joyful about their ability to express their ideas and thoughts. They will see how much they've grown over the year and know they are ready for second grade. Most importantly they will be proud of the work they accomplished in first grade.

Have you ever been engaged in a conversation with a six year old only for them to suddenly get very excited about something completely off topic that happened yesterday?

Last week? Last year? My students are excitable. My goal is to harness that excitement and use it to develop a passion for learning to read and write like second graders. I want to give them a space for all those thrilling tales that pop into their head and encourage them to use their work time to draft, revise, edit and publish their stories. Located in a high poverty area my students face many obstacles which could prevent them from becoming anything they want to be. Education will give my students the tools to improve themselves and their community. And the best way to insure my students reach their academic potential is to invest them in and help them fall in love with learning. That is what this project will help us do.

My Project

During our daily five literacy time my students will have the choice to "work on writing". Our composition books will hold our rough drafts and revisions, while our journals will be used for final drafts. In order to enjoy writing and feel successful at it word work will be part of our daily choices, the cart will help keep this center organized and insure our time is spent actively learning sight words and practicing our phonics.

Not all my students have a safe space for their thoughts.

This will provide that for them, it will give them a place to express themselves and be proud of it. A visual representation of how much they've learned throughout the year will help instill the value of education in my students.
