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
My students are English Language Learners. My school district is a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom due to economic status and English language deficits. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to keep things simple and provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences.
My students love to read, learn, and love lots of positive attention.
From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. I may not be able to control their home lives, however, I can certainly control their experience during the school day. By doing this in a creative and positive way, I am hopeful to inspire even our earliest learners to continue on a path of academic success.
My Project
I am requesting a wireless headphone listening station, a set books for the listening station, and a Big Book Easel. This project would help my students be able to listen to stories therefore they do not interrupt others while reading books. The big book easel would help us read our big books in a way for all students to see the book. This project will benefit my students in building literacy skills.
My students need many opportunities to listen and read stories since they are English language learners.
By hearing stories and reading big books they can build reading skills.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
