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.
Give this project a boost!
A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
I teach small group ESOL (English speakers of other languages) instruction with an amazing, creative group of students who are always ready for something new. I get the opportunity to support my students directly during a time in their life that is often their first exposure to English. Together, we work on the areas of academics where they struggle the most so that they will succeed in the classroom.
"One language sets you in a corridor for life, Two languages open every door along the way" ~ Frank Smith.
My students are just beginning on their journey to learning English, but that doesn't mean they don't have the same interests and they want to read the same level of adventure, drama and excitement as their peers. When they go to the library to borrow a book, their English reading level may not be commensurate to their interests and reading levels in their first language. I am requesting Russian, Turkish and Ukrainian editions of favorite books so that my students can have both editions. With this project, they will be able to have equal access to stimulate their imagination, cultivate a love of reading, and have the opportunity to join in book discussions with peers. It's huge for them to have the opportunity to sit next to their peers, chapter books in hand, equally enjoying Harry Potter, Tom Sawyer, and Huckleberry Finn. It is so important within the social dynamics and community of a school for children to be able to connect with each other. I have also requested ELL language development cards and centers to continue targeting vocabulary and comprehension skills for my students. It is my hope that this project continues to encourage and support our ESOL students for years to come. Thank you.
