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
When you enter the door to our kindergarten class, you will see twenty boys and girls playing and working with manipulatives ranging from counting counters, letter blocks, a magnifying glass, etc. Though my students come from different backgrounds and nationalities, they all learn through play and hands-on experiences. Many of them speak Spanish as a first language.
They yearn to connect and learn from one another.
My students come to kindergarten with a range of prior knowledge, however, I differentiate instruction to cater to all their needs. They are full of energy, and they learn best from moving and acting out.
My Project
This project consists of the 15 Sunshine State books for grades K-2. The purpose of the SSYRA Jr. program is to develop student interest in reading for pleasure by exposing them to a wide range of appropriate literature.
Sunshine State Jr.
books are selected for their wide appeal, literary value, varied genres, curriculum connections, and multicultural representation. Students can listen to these books read to them, read them in a small groups, or read independently to develop skills in fluency and comprehension. I hope this program and these books will encourage by students to read for fun!
