Help Second Grade ESL Students Develop Language to Speak and Read

My students need beginning vocabulary audio cards and a CD player so they can be able to see and hear words in the correct use for language development.

Celebrating 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

Visiting or moving to a new place can be very exciting yet frightening at the same time especially if you are unfamiliar with the native language. Learning a second language is a difficult challenge to overcome when there is not enough resources or support.

Let me introduce you to my 28 second grade shining stars.

The class ranges from beginner ESL students to advance ESL students located in an urban neighborhood in New York City. These students come from all over the world and are eager to learn and tackle the challenges of the school day.

My Project

By the time the students have reached the second grade they are already used to a normal school day routine. In second grade students are enriching their language, social, math and reading skills. However, the students that have just arrived to the country are shy, not used to NYC public schools and cannot communicate due to lack of language. The students must learn the language first before they can master fluency and reading comprehension. With the audio cards the students will be able to see pictures, read, and hear vocabulary words to enhance their language skills and learn how to use them in sentences. The students will develop fluency, recognize letters, sounds and sight words.

Teaching students English is very important.

I want to provide the students with the tools they need to understand the English language and provide a structured environment for continuous growth. Once the students have acquired the language they'll feel more confident in school and can move on to develop the skills needed to give them a successful life. It is vital that they have as many resources available to help them become confident English speakers and develop an everlasting love of learning.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
