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
For most of my students, it is their first time to attend school. So it is my goal to spark their interest in all aspects of their academics.
Pre-kindergarten students are very enthusiastic learners!
We are at a Title I school with a very high percentage of students and families living in low income homes. Most of my students are English language learners. While poverty and language can present barriers for my students, they are learning not to let their challenges get in the way of education. As their teacher, it is my job to create excitement in their daily routines at school in order to make their school experience fun and worthwhile.
My Project
When do we teach children the love of reading? At a very early age! As a mom and a teacher, I learned that fostering the love of reading starts as early as infancy. Parents who read to their children, not only create a special bond between them, it also teaches their children a vast vocabulary, creative imagination and constructive thinking.
“So please, oh please, we beg, we pray, Go throw your TV set away, And in its place you can install, A lovely bookshelf on the wall.” — Roald Dahl, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
In a tech world, books always compete with gadgets in the hands of children. I would like to create a library in my classroom where my pre-k students develop a habit of choosing books over electronics. A quiet library full of books, comfy seating and a canopy may just do the trick!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
