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 Dual Language PreKindergarten class where scholars enjoy learning and communicating in Spanish.

Our class is bright and creative and enjoy learning in various ways.

We love learning through games, motions, and songs, and enjoy exploring different cultures. The class loves creating art, learning from their big buddies, and showing kindness to those around them.

They look forward to coming to class every day as it is a fun and safe environment for them to grow and explore the world! Together, we grow and explore the world to greater and greater heights!

My Project

Students learn so much from reading books in Spanish (their native language), but they need reading materials that correspond to their level of Spanish. A Spanish library will open the doors to so many activities, from class discussions to story re-enactments.

Reading is a fabulous way to increase vocabulary in both their native language (Spanish) and English!

It reinforces what they have been learning in the classroom and it's engaging, whether they read alone, in small groups, or as a class. In fact, as extremely cool as pre-schoolers are, they still love it when I read stories to them! It is also a great experience for the students to see, read and have stories read to them in their native language.
