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
Do you remember what it was like to read on your own? Or the excitement your parents felt when you read to them? Well, I want my students and their families to have that same experience.
This upcoming school year, I will be teaching 32 adorable, curious, and rambunctious 6-year-olds to read.
They are a diverse group that attend an urban, low-performing school in New York. Their reading journey will begin as they learn to identify and read many sight words. Seeing the sparkle in their eyes will let me know that their reading adventure has begun. Learning how to read should be enjoyable and playful.
My Project
Your donation will help prepare my students to meet the New York State Common Core Standards as well as create independent and confident readers. I have requested LakeShore's Language Teaching Centers for Common Core Standards - Complete Set.
During their "game time", my students will learn how to: (1) use the hands-on materials to build and write CVC words, (2) explore nonfiction text features, (3) respond to high-interest writing prompts, (4) read and recognize sight words, (5) match print-to-picture, (6) become pattern and word-solving detectives, (7) make reading connections, and (8) read with intention and purpose.
In addition, possible reading extension activities may include: creating class books and illustrations, dramatizing poems and stories that have been read, etc. The possibilities are endless!
Again, this is a very crucial learning stage.
Your donation will make a tremendous, positive impact on these precious students. I can just hear them all say, "Listen to me, I can read all by myself." You'll help to create life-long readers.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
