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 class is a multi-age, bridge class of 1st and 2nd graders from the East Village of Manhattan. They come from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. My students possess positive attitudes toward learning. About 50% of my school's population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunches. Despite the fact that some students come from economic hardship, my students show up each day, happy, smiling, and ready to learn! Their thirst for knowledge never ends!

Each student has their own individual identity that helps make our classroom learning environment a special place.

Each child has their own unique strengths and interests that they bring to the learning experience. Furthermore, they all share a common interest in reading and engaging with the text.

My Project

The proposed project is to implement a structured guided reading program in my classroom for students who need support according to their Fountas and Pinnell guided reading levels. Any child who scores below the benchmark for their grade will automatically receive guided reading as an intervention 2-3 times per week. To implement this program, we would purchase the Lakeshore Guided Reading Program for both fiction and nonfiction. This program is structured and focuses on essential reading skills. The leveling system allows students to receive support at their instructional level.

This guided reading program would address literacy needs in phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.

With the implementation of this program, the goal is to see the proficiency level of students with special needs and students identified as ELL grow within the next couple of months.
