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

First grade is a crucial year! Students begin to define themselves with respect to what kind of learners they are. I try to make my classroom a place that is positive, encouraging, and conveys the message “You can do it”. I teach children from many backgrounds, with different learning strengths and needs. My teaching must be flexible and individualized. I work to create the best learning experiences I can for them.

My students are precious first graders who are eager to learn and grow!

Our school is a small, rural school with approximately 450 students in pre-k through eighth grade. They live in area of high poverty. Approximately seventy-five percent of our students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Forty-eight percent of these students speak English as a second language. Every year we have students come to school without any English at all. Their families are supportive but have language deficits as well.

My students all have an overwhelming desire to learn. They are caring, kind, and curious. They are hungry to learn.

My Project

For English Language Learners (ESL) learning and communication isn't easy. It is a process in which the students learn elements such as vocabulary, phonics, grammar, and writing.

The first and often longest phase is "the silent period," when the student takes in the new language but does not speak it.

This period lasts weeks to months, depending on the individual.

Ipads will allow us to use apps to help these students communicate with other students, focus on individual needs to acquire English, and allow my other students to use apps for remediation and enrichment with their own academic needs.
