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

Even though it's only the first few days of school, we are finding different ways to help our students. Each and everyone of them are so amazing-they have made such an impact on our lives in such a short time.

In our class our motto is, Always Dream Big!

Don't ever give up! Our school is in Brooklyn, a title I school where we have a diverse community not only in our class but our school. We are an ICT class with many different disabilities. Each and everyone of us learn differently and we as teachers try to reach each and every style.

Theses students touched our lives in so many ways. We are grateful for each and everyone of them!

My Project

Children take great pleasure in listening to stories, and there are some terrific books on tape. Tapes and CD's that come with a copy of the book are particularly valuable, because your child can follow along as the narrator reads. You'll find that these books not only provide you with an occasional break from reading (and rereading the same stories again and again); they also enrich your child's multi-sensory experiences with books.

Hearing a book read on tape helps he/she see how the words on the page can come alive in a fluid, expressive way.

It helps the students focus on the sounds of words read without interruption and provides a model of fluent reading. Audio books also give the student an important introduction to listening — a skill that they must master in order to learn to read.

A printer is also very helpful because we are able to create many visuals to help our students grow. We can create different task analysis or social stories. We can help our students grow!
