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 Project

I teach the Kindergarten English Language Learner class at a public school in Los Angeles. The majority of my students come from low income households and are either new to the United States or have only lived here a few years and are learning the language. This is one of many challenges faced by my students. Despite the challenges they face, my students are eager and excited to learn.

These center activities will reinforce the instruction being provided in the classroom.

Having access to hands-on activities will help ensure that my students are successful in meeting the various kindergarten standards and will help lay the foundation for them to be successful in future grades.

Students will use these center activities in the classroom during small group rotation time. During the time that I am working either with a small group or 1:1 with a student, the rest of the class will be working collaboratively at these centers.
