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 kindergarten classroom is filled with 28 beautiful children who love school. They arrive each day excited for what is in store. They are full of energy just waiting to be directed towards learning.

My students love working in small groups and I believe that group work is one of the best ways for students to learn and for young students to become readers. However, the reading program at my school does not provide as much opportunity for group work as I would like. I have tried setting up small groups for phonics and beginning reading instruction, but my lack of materials hinders me. Being a teacher at an inner-city school, I have done my best to not let my lack of materials come in the way of my teaching. However I know that appropriate and quality materials would benefit my students greatly.

My wish is for the phonics and early reading materials, because I believe that I can then create centers that will provide my students with hands-on and minds-on activities that will reach each student at their level. The centers will give students a safe place to work on phonics, word families, and more.

I am positive that my students would benefit tremendously if this grant were awarded to me.
