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
My kindergarten students are some of the most loving, imaginative, and hard-working kids I have ever met. Their joy is contagious, and you cannot help but get excited to learn and play with them once you enter our classroom.
True global citizens, my 38 students embrace those around them with compassion and empathy, eager to learn about the differences that make up our bilingual classroom.
My students are curious, creative, and eager to learn about their world.
While our school strives to meet high social-emotional and academic standards, it faces many challenges unfortunately common in urban education. Our Title I public school in Washington, D.C. serves a diverse group of students, with 54% receiving English Language Learner support and 10% receiving Special Education support. 100% of our students receive free and reduced lunch. As a dual language school, our students have 50% of their education in Spanish, and the other 50% in English.
My Project
The transition from pre-k to kindergarten is tough on students as they transition from a play-based curriculum to the full day of kindergarten academics. To ease this transition, I am trying to develop our play centers to keep the students joyful and engaged. We received a light table earlier this year and are asking for enough Magnet Tiles for all the students in order to support joyful and essential learning in kindergarten.
The Magnet Tiles, Translucent Imagination Builders, and Light Table Manipulative Center, will create a space for conversation and language development as students innovate and create with them.
Navigating conflicts and figuring out how to share develops students’ conversation and language skills, which are most often developed during play and peer-to-peer interactions for kindergarten-aged students.
Thank you for supporting our classroom and helping to bring joy to our kindergarten classroom!
