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.
As a reading intervention teacher, my students are struggling readers or learning English for the first time. Many are reading one or two grade levels below and need extensive support. Despite their academic challenges, they work hard to build new language skills every day and are proud to showcase their learning when given the opportunity.
The majority of my students come from low-income homes and face significant challenges, but that does not stop them from coming to school each day excited and eager to learn!
They are eager and curious scholars who are each other's greatest supporters. My students are always willing to help each other and quick to celebrate each other's successes. Our little learning community is one in a million!
My Project
Given my students’ unique needs, our learning environment has to be flexible, adaptable, and above all else engaging. I am constantly looking for new ways to help them break out of their shells. This means incorporating a variety of language and literacy resources that go beyond our mandated curriculum.
When students have stimulating visuals and hands-on activities they are more likely to engage in rich discussion without feeling hindered by their reading abilities.
Many students are intimidated by multisyllabic words which directly affects their fluency and confidence. I hope to incorporate a new multisyllabic reading routine that will help them build confidence and skills in a fun way.
