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
My first graders are English language learners that have a thirst for learning. Our school is in a low income, urban neighborhood in Chicago.
Ninety eight percent of our school are native Spanish speakers and come from homes where English is not the primary language spoken.
In some cases, school is the only place where these students get the opportunity to hear and use the English language.
My students are highly motivated and eager to learn! The Chicago Public Schools have been facing budget cuts year after year, and I am lacking the materials needed to help these kids.
My Project
I am hoping to receive 2 iPods that will be used for individual listening centers in the classroom. iPods are easy for the students to use and allow for personal choice while students are in our listening center. The iPods will allow for students to easily access recordings of multiple read alouds and then choose which book they would like to listen to.
Your donation would allow for my students to be exposed to reading and build essential literacy skills needed to become a successful independent reader.
I want to expose my students to literacy in many different ways. Incorporating listening centers into my literacy bock is one more way for students to explore literacy and grow their love for it.
Nearly all 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
