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 Project
My students are curious, energetic 4 and 5 year olds. They live in one of the most densely populated areas of our large city. Many of the families at my school are immigrants from various places around the world. Many are new to the country. Like all families, they want the best for their students. The majority of my students are English Language Learners. With these resources, I will help my students develop their oral language skills and their English language development in the ways that are most developmentally appropriate.
Oral language development is crucial to a student's academic success in later school years.
Alphabet puppets are a great resource to introduce students to the letters of the alphabet. Students will have fun playing with the alligator puppet and making the connection to the letter A and the sound of the letter A. They will have something tangible to hold and see as they learn about the letters with the other puppets, like the firefighter, the doctor, and the lion. The Mystery Box is another great resource to help students develop their language skills. And I am sure they will have fun as they try to figure out what is in the box!
The Multicultural Board Books and the Bilingual Board Book Collection are great resources to help my English Learners. These books honor their primary language while also helping them learn English. These books also help my students to see the value, beauty, and dignity of all people. My students love to look at books. We read books indoors, and we read books outdoors. These books will be a great addition to our classroom library.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
