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

Fun and engaging learning opportunities? Absolutely! It is my professional commitment to search them out. I teach first grade in a low-income, high-need area and most of my students are English Language Learners.

Many of my students are struggling to reach grade-level standards in reading and writing.

My students love to be read to but so often lack the opportunity. I have found a way to allow my students the chance to hear stories read fluently on a daily basis.

My Project

With your sponsorship, I can provide portable CD players for my students. This will allow them to listen to audio books of their choosing. In order to meet their learning needs, I have included a time in our day referred to as "The Daily Five." During this time, students work independently on various literacy skill-building activities while I meet with students individually or in small groups in order to instruct each student at their specific level. It is a constant struggle to find appropriate, engaging, yet meaningful, learning activities that students can do independently. Listening to reading is one of the most effective, authentic learning experiences I can offer my students.

Your contribution to this project can significantly increase the reading and writing level of my first graders as well as continuing their positive experience with school, not to mention the foundation for a lifelong love of reading!
