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.
My Students
The main challenge my students face is living in a low-income community. Many of my students are required to take care of themselves and have little to no help with schoolwork at home. I try my best to make my classroom a safe, comfortable environment that is their home away from home.
My students are all ELL students.
I have 21 total students, 12 girls and 9 boys. Each student is wonderful in his/her own way. They attend a public school in a low-income community. There is little/no parent support, which makes it a little difficult to have at-home support. My students are everything to me! That's why it is so important that my classroom is where they want to spend their time at learning!
My Project
We would love to get headphones that we can use with our listening center. We received materials with a junction box, but the headphones we currently have are not compatible with the junction box, so we need matching headphones. With these headphones, students will be able to participate in their listening center with their peers, hearing wonderful stories through them. In addition, we would also love to get listening center materials for our listening center, which students use every day. They will be able to choose from these classic texts, and be engaged in their learning.
This project is so important because students struggle with reading fluency and comprehension on a daily basis.
It is important to have stimulating, engaging materials to help motivate students in their comprehension learning. Getting these materials will bring students closer with their reading goals, while at the same time, learning in a fun way!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
