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

My first-grade students and I are located in Pacoima, CA and are considered to make up a large part of the community's heart and driving energy. We are a Title I school so a full 100% of students receive free breakfast and lunch. While my students come from a low socioeconomic and Latino community, we work hard to break down language and cultural barriers and ensure families are involved in every way possible.

My students' positive attitudes and enthusiasm to learn encourages me every day to give them the learning experiences that will last a lifetime.

Every day, we inspire each other to be the best learners we can be through perseverance, cooperation, self-control, and courtesy of each other. They take pride in their efforts and are willing to challenge their minds for the sake of learning.

My Project

In the past year and a half students were learning from home. It was a difficult year and a half. In that time my students were in Pre-K and Kindergarten; school years that build fundamental skills for kids. The lost time in a classroom led to learning gaps. This year is the time to catch up!

Now that we are in the classroom, my students will have the opportunity for hands-on, science based learning.

Knowing what was to come, I began studying the science of learning. It has motivated me to do better for my students. The materials I am asking for focus on sounds in words, separating the sounds, oral cues, and matching letters and spelling patterns to sounds. They will be used during Language Arts centers to make learning fun and independent. They will provide the opportunity for learning my students need to close the gap.
