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

My kindergarten students are amazing! Despite all their struggles at home, they come to school and our Google Meets with smiles on their faces, ready to learn. They especially love when we use technology such as computers, tablets and the SmartBoard for our songs, stories and reading and writing lessons.

My students and their families were hit hard during the COVID-19 pandemic, and a majority of them are now learning from home.

These students are ready to learn despite the circumstances and love coming onto Google Meets every single day! Additionally these students are English Language Learners, and are excited to learn the English language and how to read, write, and speak English!

My Project

These notebooks and dry erase markers are great tools to help my students learn to draw and write from home or school. Our school community has been hit hard by COVID-19, and we've already shut down once since September. These tools will allow my students to easily work from school and transition home if needed. They can keep all their ENL work in one place, and keep it in their backpack for use at school or home.

I plan to use these tools, along with others I've purchased/created myself to make "ENL Baggies" with resources for my children so they don't fall behind in the event of another school closing.
