Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

I teach at a small elementary school just outside of Houston. My school is a Title I, low income school. Many of the students qualify for the free lunch program. 67% of the students in my school are economically disadvantaged.

Each day I get to make a difference in a student's life.

As a kindergarten teacher, I am building the foundation that will help the students to be successful in the rest of their school career. Sometimes I am the first smile that they see in the morning and the last hug they will receive in the evening.

My Project

My biggest goal is to build a strong love for reading in my students. It is so incredibly important that their first reading experiences are positive. To accomplish this goal, I try my best to make reading and learning the letters and sounds fun and engaging.

The Kindles will provide my students with the opportunity to read and listen to stories.

This will help build their reading fluency and their comprehension skills. The students will use different apps such as Raz-Kids or Reading A-Z to explore new stories and build the skills needed to become a reader. With these Kindles, there is no telling how much my students will be able to achieve!
