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.
Our ESL classroom is filled with English Language Learners everyday, all day. Our students come from various parts of the world, most of them are from India, some are from Mexico, Honduras, and Asia. Our school is filled with various cultures, languages, and traditions. Our students enjoy reading books and sharing information they have read.
Our students find it difficult to converse with other students in school because they are not English speakers.
In order for our students to communicate effectively we have to teach them English vocabulary both academically and socially. I have learned from my students that their parents are eager to reiterate the material we taught them in class, this allows the students to be better prepared for real life situations. They want to see their child be successful in and out of school. At school we have a great responsibility to teach our students how to read, to comprehend what they read, and to enjoy what they read. The resources I have to teach my students are limited, and this is where you can be a huge part of our eager learning classroom family. I am excited to be a part of this school family!
My Project
These books will help my students grow beyond knowing what has happened or is happening around them. They will be able to escape, explore, experience, and research the life, achievements, and/or struggles of well known people around the world. Many of our students have not been exposed to historical figures and this would be a great start for them.
Our students are eager to learn English academic and social vocabulary and these books will be a great resource for them!
I can provide support for my students to understand and learn about historical figures that had a great impact on the world.
