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

Due to the joy of being able to parent 3 lovely girls I previously left my teaching career. Now I pursue another chapter in my life of going back to revive my teaching career.

I have been given a great teaching opportunity for a Kindergarten class in a neighborhood where most children are either in shelters or underprivileged.

The classroom I have been given doesn't have many center materials or equipment needed to enhance the students' learning and their ability to learn to read and write. My plans are to transform this classroom from an ideal classroom into a reality. This will design a creative space that will promote student creativity.

My Project

My kindergarten students are starting to read, however, I don't have enough books on their level, let alone books on characters that are familiar with and they enjoy on their reading level. The Biscuit, Pete the Cat, and Fancy Nancy are characters they love to read about. Now they will be able to do it independently.

These leveled books will open up a whole new world in independent reading for my students.

The Sight Word Readers, whether in fiction or non-fiction, will also emphasize the sight words that they are learning in class. These are sight words that are needed to grow their reading level.
