Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

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

My students are an eager bunch who always make me smile and challenge me. Many face challenges in their young life that I can't even imagine as an adult, however they are kind, creative and loving. I want to make sure while they are in my care and learning environment they get the best opportunities I can offer, my school can offer and the relationships they develop with their peers can offer. Every little person in that classroom deserves a right to learn, love and discover how great they really are!

My Project

If my vocabulary project is funded, my students have hands-on experience as they build their vocabulary knowledge and sight word expertise. Many of students are English language learners, so to have to opportunity to have hands-on experience will only help them master and utilize the English language. I am super excited for this chance for them to work in pairs or at centers will the materials I am requesting. My students will get the opportunity to continue their use of already learned vocabulary words and new words as they grow as wonderful readers. These tools are a great way to develop word knowledge as they work in centers and with their classmates. They will have fun and learn...imagine that! Learning is fun.
