My class is full of brilliant 6 year-olds ready to take on the world. They come in with little knowledge, and will come out reading in 2 languages. My first graders are in a Dual Language Spanish/English program.
Approximately 50% of my students come from native Spanish speaking homes, while the other 50% are from native English speaking homes.
Every day, 90% of the instruction is in Spanish. As we strive to learn the target language, we also introduce English into our day. We follow all the standards for the Common Core State Standards, but they learn primarily in Spanish in first grade. About half of my class receives free or reduced-price lunch and could use the extra help in all areas.
My Project
We will use the ink, paper, and dry erase markers to make education come alive. The students will be able to have color pictures, writing paper, math problems, and homework problems, using these resources. They will also each have a music and poems book to practice reading, comprehension, and fluency.
The students will use these resources each and every day.
They may not notice, but it will certain help them to learn. Do you know what is Black And White And Read All Over? You are right - anything they can print and read. Thank you for your incredible help in funding this project.
More than half of students from low‑income households
