I'm Bilingual, What's Your Superpower?

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

In my Chicago classroom, you will find inquisitive students who are learning and producing a new language. They love to read and practice fun math lessons while working in teams. The majority of my students live in the Little Village neighborhood. Our school is a Title I school that is trying to give them tools to succeed outside of the norms.

My students have the drive to become literate and they deserve the same opportunities as students in other schools.

Many families are working class where both parents work during the day and night. The students have little to no family involvement in their schooling. I make it my job to create a learning environment that they are proud to be a part of.

My Project

"If a child cannot learn the way we teach, we should teach the way they learn." (author unknown) Teaching bilingual students has been the most difficult but rewarding aspect of my teaching. My students want to learn but have difficulty making sense/applying what they learn. Visuals for my students have a huge impact on their learning. The Epson eco tank printer will help change this for them. I will be able to create and place posters, photographs, charts, word connections, and tons of other learning reminders for them. The details fo these visual aids will allow them to have real references that they can use in the application of their skills.

Students will be able to make connections from words to drawing to increase memory.

Remember, my bilingual students are doing double the work from one language to another. My goal for them is to increase vocabulary retention to increase grade-level text comprehension. Although they need supports, my students are being held accountable for their learning like all children in 4th grade. Please help us reach our goals this year!
