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

Too often students leave school for the summer and take a back slide in their learning. This means they come back to school in the fall and they have forgotten a lot of what they learned the previous year.

I have the most wonderful Kindergarten students who love to learn.

However, many of them lack the resources that will set them up for academic success. They come into school every day eager to learn something new. We are one of five kindergarten classrooms in a Title I school with close to 600 students. The majority of my students are English Language Learners who need additional materials to support learning new vocabulary and skills simultaneously. Many people have said that our school is a hidden treasure and for that reason it can be difficult to locate. Because we are tucked into a small neighborhood, we do not receive as much community support to fund classroom needs. Many of our teachers purchase materials independently or seek funding for materials.

My Project

The Summer Bridge series books will help each student in my classroom and a few students in the other Kindergarten classrooms, who need extra practice for first grade. They will work through the book during the summer to prevent losing what they learned in Kindergarten. The loss of previously-learned skills strikes the students at my school often and they need as much as support as possible to keep their minds sharp during the summer.

The students at my school want to keep learning and I need your help to set the Kindergarten students up for success.

Thank you for reading through my project to find out why we need these Summer Bridge books.
