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 absolutely love learning through centers! It gives them the opportunity to work together on reading, math, and writing. They spend a majority of their day doing work for centers while I am working with a small group of children. I want them to have access to new and better materials.

My students are absolutely AMAZING!

I love coming to work with them everyday; however, I do have some students that are below grade level and are struggling. I work with these students in a small group daily in order to provide them with what they need. The school I teach at is a Title 1, low-income school. This means that a huge percentage of the students come from low-income homes. Our principal does what she can for our school and is very supportive of the staff. The staff is also wonderful. We do our best to support each other on a daily basis. The students that go to this school deserve the very best and I am striving to give them that.

My Project

My students will be using these materials on a daily basis, whether it is with me or each other. For the reading and writing centers, they will be used twice a day. The students will be in groups of four and can support each other with decoding words to writing stories! When it comes to math, they will be able to work with a partner on topics I have covered in the classroom and offer support to one another. I plan on using the decoding and fluency center with my small group. First grade is where the magic happens. It is where the students learn how to read. By using the decoding and fluency center, I can guarantee that my students will go to second grade as fluent readers!

Donations to this project will improve my classroom greatly.

My students will have access to different materials to use that fit the Common Core State Standards. They will also get to practice the many different topics I teach to them throughout the year. It is a wonderful feeling to know that I am helping them become better readers, writers, and mathematicians. I am working on making them successful students and adults. I know that you can assist me with this process!
