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
I teach Kindergarten in a NYC DOE school. I have 25 bright eyed and smiley children. They come into Kindergarten, so happy and eager to learn. My students are predominately ENL students, who are learning to not only read and write but also how to speak English. 100% of our school population qualify for free lunch. We are a Title I school. Our school does not have a computer lab and students struggle to learn without colored pictures as a visual aid. These little babies are visual learners and need visual aids to help increase their understanding of new concepts and material.
My Project
My little Kindergarteners are so excited to come to school everyday and learn as much as they can. They are little sponges and soak up as much information as they can each day. It is very sad, but my school does not have enough printers for each class and when we do have a printer its black and white and usually out of ink. These little ENL students need visuals to learn not only new material but also to help with their language skills.
Students will often say, "What is that, I cant see it?" The black and white pictures don't really help visually.
If I could show them in color, it would make a major difference in their learning . When I print out our learning centers, students have trouble labeling and matching pictures because they just cannot see the image or they cannot see what it is. Please help us bring some color into our classroom!! Thank you so much
