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

Do you remember being in Kindergarten and thoroughly loving center time? My students also love spending time in literacy centers where they are independently practicing skills and concepts they've learned. Please help our class acquire more learning centers to love and enjoy.

My Kindergarten students are between 5 and 6 years old and this is their first year at a Title 1 school in Texas.

A majority of my students come from a background of poverty and have limited access to supplies and supports needed to bridge the gap to their better off peers. My students are eager and ready to learn, and these centers will help them in their learning!

My Project

I have requested reading centers to develop my students' independent work skills and continued practice on the important skills Kindergarteners need to be successful. Each of the centers and resources can be used in a variety of ways. Students can complete them independently and in pairs during center time which builds independence and team work skills, as well as more practice on specific Kindergarten skills. I can also utilize these resources during small group instruction to reinforce skills learned as a whole class. Students will work on their early reading skills such as phonemic awareness, building words, and sequencing.

Having these additional centers available in the classroom will provide my students with more activities to build up their Kindergarten skills without becoming burnt out on using the same centers again and again.

The variety provided in these centers also give my students different ways to practice each skill, thus increasing their understanding and ability to apply those skills to new situations.
