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
Each and every day, I am truly inspired by all of my second graders. They are constantly put in to very intimidating situations that sometimes, I don't think that I could ever overcome like they do. Many of my students walk into a classroom not knowing any of the English yet, but yet they each try their best to communicate with others around them.
A situation that would be extremely scary for me seems to be a stepping stone for these young minds that I teach.
Majority of my students also live in poverty meaning that they live in overcrowded homes, they may not be eating regularly, and they may not have normal sleeping hours. But, they still walk into the classroom ready to seize the day. I have learned so much from my students and all I want to do is be able to provide the best education for them. Their inspiration for learning is my inspiration for teaching.
My Project
I am requesting a listening station with a radio/CD player along with 8 headphones to play read alouds on CD with. This listening center will be put into a quiet corner of the classroom with a rug and pillows for students to enjoy. Practicing various literacy skills is very important in the young years especially with students who speak other languages. A listening center would be extremely beneficial in my classroom for the students who need more reinforcement. This listening center would benefit all of my students especially ranging from above grade level to below grade level. Many of my students have families at home that speak different languages, so I believe that a listening center in the classroom would expose many of my students to the English language.
This listening center would greatly help many of my students who are not exposed to the language at home.
In request of this listening center, I am hoping that my students will enjoy reading while also having fun!
