Help me give my students books, writing tools, art supplies, and dramatic play tools to help them develop foundational English words, and communication skills, in a hands on active environment.
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
Our classroom is a flourishing hub of growth and development that includes children from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds – born overseas or here in the United States – who are beginning transitional kindergarten and kindergarten. For all children, starting school is a time of major transition for both the children and their families, but for children that have just immigrated to the United States or that are just learning to understand and speak the English Language, beginning school is not only about adjusting to school and its routines, but also about doing so in a largely unfamiliar culture and language.
Your donation to this project will help these uniquely challenged English language learners adjust to classroom routines and procedures and develop the foundations of English across subject areas by giving them visual representations, opportunities for movement, and hands-on manipulative experiences.
Transitional kindergarteners and kindergarteners are learning foundations of math, reading, and language. The books in this project will provide students with visual representations of both geometrical shapes and their positions relative to other shapes, and they will help students develop the English language words and structures related to describing objects using shape and prepositional words. The dramatic play dishes will give them the opportunity to use those shape and prepositional words in the context of make believe. The color dabbers, pom pom's, confetti and glow-scape will give them the opportunity to create, describe and share their knowledge about shapes and prepositions, and the paint smocks will keep their clothes clean as they create their shape painting, collages and drawings. The accordion files will give them a place to retrieve shape letter and number stencils and activities that will will help students develop foundations of number sense while developing the English language needed to describe objects by shape and position.
