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.
My students come from very diverse backgrounds but all have the same desire to learn everything they can to be "brilliant!" They come in each day to my all day, everyday Kindergarten class with a smile and eagerness to learn something new. If you ask them what they want to learn this year, they all say the same thing, "to learn how to read!" I cannot begin to tell you how exciting this is to hear as a teacher.
We all know that reading is one of the foundational skills that is needed to ensure our kids have an opportunity to have a successful future.
Writing, listening, and speaking go hand in hand with reading to help our kids become well rounded individuals and succeed in whatever path they choose in their later lives. I love being a small part of helping them to become a life long learner and instill a love of learning!
The school that I have the pleasure of working at is in Nampa, Idaho. Our school is very diverse with; 26% LEP (limited English proficient), 6% homeless/migrant, 98% of our students who have applied have qualified for free/reduced lunch, and 53% are minority.
My Project
My students will love to sit on a comfy, colorful rug with their own special spaces to practice their phonics and phonemic awareness. This whole class learning time will become that much more special when each student has their own spot to sit on as we practice the skills to become beginning readers. They will also be able to spread out and get comfortable as I read the new books that will not only be entertaining, but teach some valuable lessons!
The sensory table will give my students a fun way to work on fine motor skills as well as helping them to develop language skills!
