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

Everyday my students come to school with positive attitudes and the brightest smiles we could ask for! They are so excited to be in school and curious to know what sort of activity we will be doing in the classroom each day. I truly look forward to helping them learn and preparing them for kindergarten.

The area our school is located in, is a low income neighborhood, our students all receive a free lunch and snack everyday.

We are always working with our families to ensure our students are getting the necessities in order for them to be successful. No matter what, my students come to school ready to learn their letters, play, read stories, count, and sing songs. It is truly inspiring to watch my students grow and learn throughout the year.

My Project

If you give headphones to preschoolers... they will listen to their favorite story! These headphones and iPod will be a wonderful addition to our listening center. Everyday we break into groups of three or four for center time. During centers students rotate through four activities (centers). Two groups are teacher directed and the other two are independent. We can download the audio on the iPod and use our four copies of their favorite books for them to follow along with. I am asking for four pairs of headphones as well so that each student in their center is able to listen and follow along.

We would really like to add a listening center to one of our rotations so students are building their listening skills, print concept and vocabulary.

This will be a wonderful addition to our classroom and I know will be put to great use everyday. It will help our preschoolers become more independent and confident reading.
