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 students need engaging centers to develop their reading comprehension, vocabulary, and word building skills.

My students are sweet boys and girls in first grade that need school to be a stable and fun place that they want to attend.

The students at my school are 63% Hispanic, 41% are English language learners, and approximately 70% are socioeconomically disadvantaged."

My Project

During reading instruction each day, we spend some time as a whole class learning skills to help us become better readers. However, the students are all on a variety of reading levels. For this reason, I do small reading groups at each of the levels to give students practice with exactly what they need. While I am spending that time with a small group, the rest of the students need to spend their time in productive ways. These centers will be set up around the room. Students will rotate to the centers throughout reading time each day. When I am finished with a reading group, I can then walk around and check the students work to ensure that they are getting the most from their center time. Then they will rotate and I get the opportunity to meet with the next reading group. My students will learn reading comprehension, vocabulary, word work, and how to work with others.

Being able to read and comprehend are the most important skills a person can have.

By helping us with this project you will help my students to spend their group and independent time on fun, engaging centers that will make learning to read and comprehend fun.
