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.
I am a teacher to children from low-income families and high poverty, where many of our students cannot afford school supplies. My classroom is full of sweet, smart, energetic, hard-working learners. My students do not receive much of what they need at home due to financial struggles.
I want my students to be successful in school and what they need are some resources to make learning fun and productive.
My students are anxious and willing to learn to become successful in their lives.
My Project
My kindergarten students need help with reading and writing! Having a wide variety of hands-on materials and supplies will help them explore a variety of early reading concepts. My goal as their teacher is to help them all grow their reading and writing skills. I am requesting centers, puzzles syllable games for my students to use independently during our daily literacy block.
I want to make learning engaging and enjoyable to provide each student with the opportunity to learn every day
My students will be using these requested materials to identify the beginning and ending syllables of different pictures. They will be blending and building words by using syllables tiles, puzzles and they will be writing words. I am also requesting a good working electric sharpener to have many sharpened pencils ready to be used in our writing center.
My kindergartners will be having so much fun, they won't even realize they are learning to read and write!
