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.
Our students are very curious and are full of questions. We strive every day to learn something new. We have worked with Green Our Planet and installed our first set of garden beds. We want these beds to be a learning classroom for students, whether we are inside or outside out our learning never stops.
Our kindergarten students are very curious about the world around them and we want to give them those hands on chances to learn as much as possible.
Our students live in sunny Las Vegas, NV. As teachers at a low income/low SES Title I elementary school, we try to give our students as many hands-on learning activities as possible. Our students don't get the opportunity to explore much of the world around them. All of our students school-wide receive free breakfast and lunch and 30% of our students are homeless. Our school's goal is to provide students with the best learning education while teaching them how to be the best person they can be. One small act at a time, we can change our world.
My Project
Reading aloud is one of the most important things parents and teachers can do with children. Reading aloud builds many important foundational skills, introduces vocabulary, provides a model of fluent, expressive reading, and helps children recognize what reading for pleasure is all about.
A good read-aloud book allows students to go beyond just surface-level knowledge.
The books I have chosen will allow students to emphasize key aspects of college- and career-ready standards, including quality, sequenced text-dependent questions, improved speaking, listening and writing tasks, and a focus on academic vocabulary.
These books will be used to teach students deeper thinking comprehension skills. Some of the books are going to be used for science lessons. These books have been paired together to help teach the Next Gen Science Standards. "Martin's Big Words" weaves the immortal words of Dr. King into a captivating narrative to tell the story of his life. "From Seed to Pumpkin" teaches students about the life cycle of plants, specifically pumpkins. "The Story of Ruby Bridges" teaches students about courage, faith, and hope when Ruby must face angry mobs of parents who refuse to send their children to school with her.
