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 from Dallas, Texas are today's learners and tomorrow's leaders. This program gives children from all cultures, areas and various incomes an opportunity to learn and thrive within the district. My energetic, pre-k through fifth grade students enter the classroom ready to learn, discover and explore.

They gleefully read Chinese books, write Chinese characters, sing Chinese songs and conduct conversation in Chinese inside and outside of class.

They beam with joy as they proudly identify Chinese characters, discover Chinese cultures and conduct conversations in Chinese with appropriateness in language and culture. They love to learn, to experience and explore!

My Project

These supplies will help to build a user-friendly, world language classroom that I have been striving to create. My classroom will become a place that my students really enjoy. It will become better organized, equipped with more visually support learning resources, effective and convenient language practice tools and hands-on supplies. Students could communicate and practice on their own, with partners or in small groups by reading, writing or playing flashcards. The laminating machine would make the learning materials more resistant and last longer. The Powerpoint presenter would make the presentation more effective and flexible. I could walk around classroom, monitor class and conduct communication with students with proximity.

It's hard to get appropriate Chinese flashcards and reading materials for my students vary from pre-k to grade five.

The blank flashcard and the laminating machine make it possible to create visually enriched materials that are appropriate for my students' developmental characteristics and language proficiency level. Moreover, the dry erase pockets would make the writing practice more efficient and more engaging.

The sensory relief tools would help to keep my students with special needs calm down, release their stress, reduce classroom behavior problems, get students engaged in instruction, increase on-task time, facilitate learning and promote overall performance.
