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.
Our school is a 100% free and reduced price lunch, Pre-K-3 through 5th grade school, at the heart of Washington, DC. This school year, I teach kindergarten and 1st grade reading intervention to a group of focused and motivated students, who despite disadvantages, work hard to catch up in literacy, rising above the challenges of disabilities, language delays and more.
We push through challenges in reading and life as a team, struggling often, celebrating always, and above all, never giving up.
My students are so thankful and appreciative of having access to supplies in the classroom which further support their success this school year.
My Project
I work with kindergarten and first grade young readers with special needs to support their literacy development. We are asking for Fundations flash cards because our current set is missing a letter (we are missing out on our practice of "s-snake-ssssss"... a personal favorite!), as well as organizational bins for our classroom leveled library. We have readers on all levels, so this helps us to organize our books so students know exactly which options they can choose from to work towards their individual reading goals. We are also asking for snacks -- we use these as rewards, along with stickers, at the end of our sessions.
Finally, due to the special needs of the students, including the unique needs of students with ADHD and autism, we are asking for sensory tools like putty, stress balls, and fidgets to help students direct their energy during our work time.
