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.
My students live in a high poverty, urban area. They go to a community school where every child receives free breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Many of our students live in public housing, with relatives, or are homeless. Many of my students are second language learners. Many of the children do not have their needs met at home. This is often due to lack of finances, long work days, and everyday stress.
My students are excited to come to school and crave the routine of our school day.
One of the main focuses of our school is to integrate the arts into learning.
My Project
Most of my students are second language learners. After researching strategies to help my students, I learned that the best way to do this is to read to children in their primary langauage.
I would like to start a bilingual close reading project for my students.
My plan is to choose a high quality book to read to a small group of students. After reading the book several times during the week, and doing an activity based on the story, I will send the book home to be read to the child in their primary language. My hope is that this will help increase their comprehension and provide more opportunities to talk about the story.
