My class is full of brilliant 5 and 6 year-olds ready to take on the world. They come in with little knowledge and will come out reading in two languages. My Kingergarten and First graders are in a Dual Language Spanish/English Program.
Approximately 50% of my students come from native Spanish speaking homes, while the other 50% are from native English speaking homes.
Every day, 90% of the instruction is in Spanish. As we strive to learn the target language, we also introduce English into our day. We follow all the standards for the Common Core State Standards, but they learn primarily in Spanish in Kinder and First grade. About half of my class receives free or reduced-price lunch and could use extra help in all areas.
My Project
As we are getting ready for in-person learning, we need to make sure the kids are not sharing supplies. They need individual storage boxes for their supplies.
As we want students to learn to share their ideas, we do not want them sharing germs.
Let’s help these Kindergarten and 1st grade students have what they need for the classroom to learn and grow. With little time left in the school year, we need to maximize our time and allow the students to have everything they need at their fingertips-storage boxes, math problem solving boards and dry-erase erasers. The students will also be excited to see some fun classroom decorations to help welcome them back to school. Thank you for partnering with me to help our littlest learners.
More than half of students from low‑income households
