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.

I teach a kindergarten classroom of students with a variety of abilities. Many of my students have special needs and/or are learning English as a second language.

Due to a lack of language/vocabulary, my students need to be exposed to fluent reading and English on a regular basis. Due to budget restraints, it is impossible for my school to purchase a CD player and headphones to enable my students to listen to books on CD.

Because of the intellectual disabilities that my students face, and the lack of English vocabulary, my students need multiple exposures to language. There are many opportunities for me to read alouds during the day to my children; however, my students need more than a teacher lead read aloud. Having a CD player that they can access on their own and listen to stories on CD would make a big difference in their language and vocabulary development.

Your donation will make a world of difference to all of my students. Giving my students multiple outlets to access fluent reading, literacy, and new vocabulary will help them tremendously with their literacy development.
