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 young students are kindergartners. They are fun, energetic, and curious five to six year olds. My students are ready to learn about math, reading, and writing. My students are eager to learn math facts and how to be a good readers and writers. My students live on the southwest side of Chicago. Most of my students are second language learners.

We like to draw and write in our writing journals, and our teacher help us to write complete sentences.

It is exciting to be an author and an illustrator. We are also learning how to add and subtract, use a ten-frame, and count on a number line. Who knows? Maybe we might have a famous author, illustrator, or the next math genius in our class!

My Project

Since our return to school my students need to be able to read and write from developmentally appropriate books and word work materials. The reading and word work material will help to provide students with small group guided reading instruction and center word work.

Providing students with developmentally appropriate materials to learn how to read, write and spell is critical in Kindergarten.

As my students get ready for the next step as readers and writers they need materials to help them achieve their goals to read and write at grade level.
