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
I work in a Title I school, and I have 21 bilingual Pre-K students that love to come to school every day. Most of my students are low income and they receive free or reduced-price school lunch. They have suffered the Harvey devastation and some of them are still recovering from all of their losses.
My students are curious and self-motivated and always ready to learn.
My students need different materials in order to show their true capabilities. This year I am working on giving my students more opportunities to participate during the read aloud and story telling.
My Project
My students enjoy listening to stories. After reading a book, we do a lot of fun activities. My students answer some of the questions but I also give them time to talk about the book and the things that are important and meaningful for them. At this age, 4-5 years old, it is important to give them opportunities to talk. Reading a book and giving them materials for retelling the story to their peers is a fun way to talk and express themselves. It is nice to see how they retell a story, use a new vocabulary word or make a part of the book up using their imagination.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
