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 kindergarteners are such bright and curious scholars who are just beginning to unlock the secrets to reading. All year long we have been studying the alphabet and learning letter sounds. The time has come to take the leap and begin sounding out words!
Our school is a low-income charter school that believes with hard work and dedication, we can help students achieve academic success and become college bound.
My students are an energetic bunch of five-year-olds, many of whom are attending school for the first time this year. Although they love to play, my students are hard workers who approach everything with such a positive attitude. Story time is their favorite part of the day and, the more we read together, the more curious my students become about the words on the page. Many of them have begun identifying letters and sight words within the pages of books and I know that learning to read is the next great journey ahead of them.
My Project
My class desperately needs materials and resources for our literacy center activities. For 30 minutes everyday, my class splits off to work on four different areas of literacy: listening center (to improve reading comprehension and fluency), phonics (to develop alphabet and letter sound identification), handwriting (to practice writing and develop fine motor skills), and guided reading (blending, segmenting, and reading words).
Our listening center provides my students with the chance to listen and follow along to stories. However, our library has been falling short and we need more copies of books so that students can listen together in their group. We also need more language games, rhyme awareness activities, phonics puzzles, letter stamps, and other resources to make these literacy concepts more accessible to the students.
The donations to this project will really boost our literacy center activities and help students become more engaged in learning to read.
My kindergarteners need more than just simple worksheets to teach them reading skills; they need hands-on experiences, interesting books, interactive computer software, and language games to get them excited about reading.
Funding this project would mean so much to them. It will help my students become the readers I know they can be!
