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 30 kindergarteners attend an elementary school in a low-income area in the heart of Miami, Florida, where ninety-eight percent of the students are Hispanic and more than eighty percent are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite their economic challenges, these fun-loving 5 and 6 year-olds are at that wonderful stage where they are eager to learn and are inquisitive.
My students are active, hands-on kids who love to learn through experience.
My Project
As a result of Covid 19 we are minimizing the amount of papers that are being transferred from student to teacher and teacher to student. I have used Explode the Code workbook in my class for last 8 years that I have taught Kindergarten and it has helped my students learn how to blend, read, and comprehend short sentences.
Explode the Code will help my students become independent readers!
Also, each student will have their own workbook which will reduce the amount of copies and save paper. Each student will keep their workbook in their desk.
More than half 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
