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 first grade classroom will consist of a diverse population. At this age students are learning to be responsible while still having fun learning. My students are a mixture of interests and come from a variety of different backgrounds.
My students have various needs based on different backgrounds.
The school serves a majority of low socioeconomic status families and has a large number of English Language Learners. Their fire to learn is amazing and inspiring. My students deserve every opportunity I can give them to succeed.
My Project
Building on students' literacy skills is key to success. Early-literacy skills are crucial and hearing fluent readers helps to build those skills.
My students need a listening center to hear and reinforce what fluent reading sounds like.
The materials for this project will create a small group listening center which students will rotate to on a daily basis. Hearing fluent reading, while following along will build vocabulary, demonstrate fluency/prosody, and work on comprehension skills. The read along books (Henry and Mudge, Danny and the Dinosaur, etc) chosen for this project are engaging which will make my students excited and eager to read them. The phonics kit will be used for my students who require pre-reading skills and more intense interventions. To make this small group possible, a CD player with six headphones are needed so that all students in one group can hear the same story. I'm excited to get this up and running in my classroom!
