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
My class is full of thirty energetic Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten students in a Charter School setting. We meet together five days a week. All students are encouraged to make personal goals that they work on at school and at home with parents. They love working with technology in our classroom. We celebrate each student as they their personal goals at their own individual pace. My students feel encouraged and supported in our community while contributing to their own learning pathway.
My Project
Transitional kindergartners and Kindergartners need to be taught how to act in new situations. Many of my students have never had to share before, or make new friends for example. I chose books with themes like sharing, making mistakes, making new friends, anger, and waiting your turn. I have found that if I read a story about the social skill to be taught, it helps my students learn the lesson easier. They seem to recognize what the character in the book needs to do to solve his or her problem. Then as a class, we can then relate what the character learned to what we might do better in our classroom. It would be so nice to have more books that teach different life skills that are so important to learn
