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

It is essential for young readers to have reading modeled for them. Books on compact discs or tapes help stories come alive and motivate struggling readers.

I teach second grade, and many of my students are excited about reading.

As young readers, they love to hear stories as well as read them. Since my school is in a lower middle class neighborhood, parents do not have extra money to donate to our school supplies. To compound this, my state has many budget cuts this year, with more ahead in the future. I also have students that are learning to speak English.

My Project

My current listening center is a tape recorder that I was given 10 years ago. I think the teacher before me must have had it too. The headphones are broken and only work on one side. The junction box either plays too soft or too loud. Since there are so many wonderful stories available, I would love to access them with a CD player and a tape recorder.

Please help us put our obsolete, broken tape recorder to rest by helping us get a new one that plays tapes and compact discs.

Soon my students will not even know what tapes are. A new listening center would help stories come alive and make reading exciting. We could work on comprehension skills as well as be exposed to many wonderful stories.
