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 kindergarten students are emerging bilinguals as they are learning and speaking every day in both English and Spanish!
My kids have big hearts, curious minds and enthusiasm for learning new things.
We are part of a small dual language community where both students and staff value cultural and linguistic diversity. We face the challenges of poverty by leaning on and learning from each other. We are a team and a family in our classroom! Every day we are learning what it means to say, "I better my world, I better myself." Thank you for helping us to do both by contributing to our classroom community.
My Project
This year my class is larger than in previous years, so I've had to make adjustments to make sure things run smoothly. One of the adjustments that I've had to make is creating more small groups during our reading group and math center times. During these times of the day students are divided into small groups and rotate through different activities to reinforce major concepts that we are learning. Some of the groups are teacher guided and others involve independent work. In previous years, the number of groups was the same as the amount of tables in my classroom. This year, because of the amount of groups, there is always a group on the carpet.
I want my Kindergarteners to be able to engage in learning no matter where they are in the classroom.
Having a small group on the carpet has presented some challenges that I haven't had to problem solve before. I feel limited in the activities that I can put out for students on the carpet because it is difficult for them to write without a hard surface.
The addition of lap desks, clipboards and magnetic drawing boards in my classroom will allow me to modify any activity for successful implementation on the carpet.
