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
"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." by Dr. Seuss. This quote sums up the goal I have for my students. I have 25 amazing first graders who live in a low-income, high poverty area where they face many challenges in their daily lives, but they love school!
My goal is to instill in each child a love of learning and the belief that they can do anything!
Our school year just began and the Covid pandemic is still lingering, my students need to have their own sets of materials to use while in school. Most of my students are stepping foot into the classroom for the first time since March 2020. They have had to deal with the many challenges of distance learning and are happy to be back in the building even if they have to be distanced while wearing masks. They missed school and the stability it provided them. My desire is to provide them all I can during this transitional time so that they can feel loved and cared for.
My Project
My students need their own set of magnetic letters to help them build words. These magnetic letters will be perfect to use during guided reading and for phonics reinforcement. Students will have the opportunity to manipulate the letters/sounds to make words. The kinesthetic use of the physical letters along with the auditory use of sounds will help to reinforce their learning.
These individual sets of magnetic alphabet letters will help build their literacy skills.
My students need lots of practice and hands-on experiences especially after a year and a half of remote instruction. My students will be excited to practice making literacy connections with these alphabet magnets. These literacy tools will provide the hands-on resources needed to make reading and writing fun.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
