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

My students LOVE to hear stories! A lot of them have never heard such classic tales as "Little Red Riding Hood" or "Jack and the Beanstalk".

Our students are mostly English Language Learners (ELL) and come from a high poverty population.

Some of their parents are illiterate; unable to read in either English or their native language. These students need exposure to classic stories to build their vocabulary and expand their content knowledge. Due to rising class sizes, it is difficult, if not impossible, to dedicate an area of the classroom for a listening center. We have tried using individual CD players, but these run through batteries quickly, and are easily dropped and broken. Some are too difficult for the children to figure out how to operate.

My Project

A wireless listening center will allow children to sit anywhere in the classroom and listen to stories being read to them, without bothering those around them, or getting tangled up in cords. They can also use listening comprehension worksheets without looking over at their neighbor's page and copying their work. Developing academic vocabulary (such as directional and describing words) will impact almost every area of learning, from language arts to science.

Due to television and radio being broadcast in different languages, and neighborhoods becoming more isolated by language, children may only hear academic English language from 8AM to 2PM, and then NEVER hear it again until the next school day.

Every moment in class should be spent broadening horizons, creating common background knowledge, and developing vocabulary.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
