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 students are a group of the smartest little learners in my entire school! They come from different backgrounds; some ride the bus in from far away neighborhoods and some live across the street. We are a blended Special Education and Bilingual classroom within a school that is 90%+ free and reduced-price lunch.

Pre-kindergarten is one of the most important grades in school.

It is the time when students get hooked on education. The best way to hook them is with adapted materials that will allow them to learn in an individualized way.

My Project

We are creating a brand new writing center that appeals to young learners with items that are age appropriate and kinesthetic. Resources like wipe and write letter boards will help students practice letter formation; chalk is an additional outlet for students to practice letter writing. The large whiteboard will allow students to stand and write, use large letters to practice sight word recognition, and draw. Lastly, the magic boards will bring magic into a center that sometimes feels more work than fun.

These new resources will help students practice writing, letter recognition, and letter formation which in turn will make them better writers and readers.

Most importantly, these resources will help create independent students who are capable of navigating the writing center.
