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

Can you imagine if you did not have enough vocabulary in order to communicate your wants and needs? My speech and language students have difficulties with vocabulary and verbal expression.

My fifth and sixth grade students are enrolled in a speech and language program in a public elementary school.

They have difficulties understanding and using vocabulary. This impacts their ability to succeed in their academic classrooms and socialize with their peers.

My Project

The Expanding Expression Tool is a simple, hands-on approach that guarantees results. This tool can be used for general descriptions, writing from prior knowledge, autobiographies/biographies, summarizing and more. My students will learn how to independently use this approach to build vocabulary and comprehension.

Incorporating the Expanding Expression Tool into my speech and language classroom will impact my students forever.

They will learn new vocabulary in a fun and enriching manner. By increasing their vocabulary and verbal expression, they will succeed socially and academically.
