Celebrating 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.
Relationships at our school are strong. We often see our children grow from preschoolers to second graders (our school grades are preschool up to second grade). Our school is special because many times we'll teach siblings and cousins of our students throughout the years.
Diversity is what makes our classroom special.
Our children speak Spanish, English, and a combination of the two. Many of our children are immigrants or have parents who are immigrants. Some have been in foster care. Almost all live at or below the poverty level, with 92% of children qualifying for free or reduced lunch. Many experienced or are experiencing trauma in their lives.
All children deserve to be ready for kindergarten. Studies show that children who enter kindergarten "ready" are more likely to attend school, perform well on achievement tests, graduate from high school, and even earn more money as adults. Our program helps children from challenging backgrounds become ready for Kindergarten. Yet we have $600 to fund everything from art supplies to books to field trips. We want our children to have everything they need to be successful in their lives.
My Project
This project is focused on emergent writing skills. I want my preschoolers to exceed curriculum expectation. Preschoolers need a variety of ways to practice this skill so, this is why we need an easel, a writing magnetic board and a pocket chart. Preschoolers are expected to be able to identify and comprehend basic grammar rules by the end of the school year and requested items will really help us reach this goal.
The magnetic writing board will be used daily by the teacher to model writing.
This board will also be accessible by the children so they can practice writing along with me. The easel will allow children to express themselves in creative ways that incorporate all of their new literacy skills! The pocket chart is a different tool to help show children how to form a sentence. At the end of the year we hope that preschoolers are able to draw a picture and write a simple sentence.
Giving my preschoolers these tools will be vital in our push to meet our literacy requirements.
