FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Krigsman's classroom raised $436

This project is fully funded

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

I am a speech language pathologist in Woodhaven, NY. Many of the families are of a lower socioeconomic status and a majority of the parents of my students are Spanish speaking. My students all have speech and language difficulties, as well as being English language learners.

Despite their challenges, my students are always eager and enthusiastic about learning!

Our families and students have struggled greatly during this pandemic during remote learning. Many of my students are not able to afford supplies such as books, small whiteboards, headphones, Dry erase markers, markers, crayons, etc, which would all help make remote learning more successful.

My Project

Most of my students struggle with phonological awareness, reading, and spelling skills. They are frustrated because they are behind their peers in reading, and as a result, they avoid activities involving reading and writing. The younger students in kindergarten through 1st grade need help learning letters and sounds, and with reading simple CVC words.

Many of my students in 2nd -5th grade continue to struggle with word families, blends, and digraph.

These activities, books, and games will make reading and spelling skills more fun and engaging. These materials can be used for in person learning or remote learning.
