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
We are half poverty, high need population in northern California. Our school has no extra funds; we are without many things. Kindergarten is a time to explore and realize who you are who you would want to be and to feel safe. Unfortunately, almost 40% or more of my students are without many supplies.
As a teacher there is so much I can do, and there is nothing at times I can do.
This is why we need your help. These children are so thankful, so wonderful and all they need is someone to believe in them. Therapeutic play can serve in individual growth purposes. In childhood, therapeutic play serves both social and personal function. Children who have had traumatic experiences can work out their demons encountered by their childhood experience as well as many challenges and anticipations of the future. My students come from a variety of backgrounds and countries. I am so lucky be their teacher.
My Project
In kindergarten we read all our books on the carpet. We also do all our instruction with books. During carpet reading time the students learn a variety of common core standards through these books.
The big book reading easel gives my students a hands on approach and keeps them engaged.
They have the opportunity to come underline key details, highlight sight words, and circle spelling patterned words.
This easel will help keep our tools organized, easy to reach, and tall enough for all my students to see keeping them engaged. Encouraging participation is important and the big book easel makes that possible for all my students.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
