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 students come excited to learn in two languages, as part of our Spanish Immersion Program that was adopted more than twelve years ago to meet the need of our cultural and linguistic diversity in our district. Eight years ago, parents got organized and successfully implemented uniforms at our school. This has helped our students to stay focused on learning, and it has provided a positive learning environment for everyone.
I am enriched and blessed by my students' diverse cultural, linguistic, and economic background.
More than 85% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. All of my kindergarten students get an amazing and unique opportunity to start learning in English and Spanish from K to grade 12. 25% of my students' first language is English, and 50% of my students' first language is Spanish, and 25% speak another language at home and most are bilingual. They share the journey to be able to graduate from high school bicultural, bilingual, and bi-literate; it all begins in my kindergarten classroom.
My Project
My dream is for kindergarteners fall in love with reading and have someone to share a good book at anytime. We have been in distance learning since September and in the next weeks, all of kindergarteners will be able to finally check out library books on a weekly bases. They are so excited to be able to hold real books and enjoy them at home.
Can you imagine each student having his or her favorite book character as a reading buddy to share a good library book?
Students can check out more than library books, they could also take home a stuffed animal. The reading buddies will motive students to read their library books and also to continue checking out more library books. Your support for this project will make each kindergartener not feel so isolated at home during this pandemic and it will promote reading, dramatic play and imagination book after book.
