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 kindergarten students are an enthusiastic and inquisitive group of children. They are mostly second language learners with families originating from mostly Hispanic countries. Some of my students live with both parents, siblings, and/or extended family, while others live with a single working parent. Despite the struggles that families face, my students thrive with loving support from home and high classroom expectations.

Curiosity, joyfulness, persistence, supportive, and collaborative are all words that describe my group of young scholars who prepare to meet the challenges of the near future.

I am proud of the way they've learned to remain engaged in less-than-desirable circumstances this school year. And I'm proud of the way their families have gone above and beyond in helping to create our classroom community. Experiences within our classroom will set the stage for first grade and beyond.

My Project

My school is starting a new Dual Language program, & I am the lucky teacher that will be spearheading it. My kindergarten students will be learning all curriculum in Spanish, in addition to a dedicated time for developing English Language Skills. I have access to wonderful resources in English, but my students & I will need new resources in Spanish.

My students needs materials as they listen, speak, read & write in Spanish--we need books & hands on materials that will reinforce literacy, expanding their language skills across across two languages!
