Mr. Uriegas’ Classroom Edit display name

https://www.donorschoose.org/classroom/6878752 Customize URL

I am one of two educators in my school who are a part of the Spanish Dual Language Program. Due to the lack of staff in this program, the resources are also underdeveloped. I am attempting to enrich my students learning through literacy. It is proven that exposure to literacy helps language acquisition occur. Since this is a program based on acquiring a language, I would like to help my students become more well rounded lifelong learners by utilizing a classroom library. The classroom library would be beneficial to the students in a plethora of ways. My biggest goal is to help my students truly become bilingual, and not only have academic phrases used strictly in classroom settings. Literacy will help them synthesize the language on a deeper level, and the language will be acquired organically. Overall, literacy is not monopolized by only Language Arts, literacy is everywhere. Again, I am attempting to incorporate literacy in my underdeveloped Dual Language Spanish Science class for the betterment of my students' language exposure and acquisition. I truly believe that a classroom library is a stepping stone towards becoming better bilingual students and individuals.
