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 teach in a large urban area where the majority of my students are part of the free lunch program and come from low socio-economic home environments. Having money for food and other household expenses takes priority over buying learning games, books, or technology. This is my kindergarten students' first school experience. I want them to develop a love for reading and learning, and depending on the pandemic, I may be teaching in person or virtually.

Due to the pandemic, many of my students did not attend pre-school, or did so virtually, so I need many resources to help them in reading and writing that will be engaging.

Every year, my kindergarten students always come excited to class, and this year they may be more apprehensive. I want them to feel safe and have a positive mindset to begin learning the love of reading and writing.

My Project

As my kindergarten students return to school for the first time. I want to begin something new this year by being more green and thinking about our footprint in our world. Instead of making copies everyday for homework and wasting paper, I want my students to have a workbook at home to assign them pages for homework. Also, due to Covid, I want to limit the exchanging of papers by having them have their materials at home. These workbooks will focus on fine motor skills of cutting and letter tracing.

My kindergarten students will be learning how to use their technology to upload pictures from these workbooks for H.W.
