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.
Most of my students are first generation American. While they come from different socio-economic statuses, they all have something in common: they all are passionate about learning. They love coming to school and are always eager to learn new concepts and experiment things first hand.
My Project
My Pre-K students love books! They can't have enough of them, they love stories and are always so excited when we get new books. They really enjoy our library and many of them even choose to read during our rest time instead of taking a nap. However, our classroom is missing a listening center.
A listening center is such a important part of a Pre-K classroom: it models fluent reading, teaches critical listening skills, helps students decode unfamiliar words and introduces new vocabulary.
Our new listening center will keep students even more engaged with reading and will help them develop a love for reading. All my students are emergent readers, so having a read-aloud model they can follow along will benefit them tremendously.
We already have lots of books and CD’s for books read-alouds. However, we don’t have any CD players or headphones. In our listening center students will have comfortable seats where they can feel relaxed and ready to learn. They will also have CD players they can use to play the books CD’s and follow the book reading independently. And they will also have headphones so that they can go to the listening center and work on their reading skills without disturbing the rest of the class.
