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 students come from different walks of life. Some were born outside the U.S. without any knowledge of the English language while others were born here, but their English skills are still developing. They all share many commonalities. They are English Language Learners; they are excited to learn and they come to school with hope, enthusiasm, and an eagerness to learn.

I teach in an urban school where ninety-seven percent of students receive free breakfast and lunch.

In addition, they live in an area that is heavily populated and where there is a large volume of traffic. Although it is a struggle for them, they put forth all their energy in learning and building both their literacy and language skills.

My Project

The materials that I'm requesting are for use both at school and at home. It's been a different type of school year and although Kindergarten looks extremely different this year, I want to make sure it is still fun and playful.

Please bring help me bring joy and playfulness back into my Kindergarten classroom.

Due to social distancing, children cannot play and work with each other. They sit in their spot all day with occasional breaks. Since we have to make sure that safety comes first, I'm requesting these bins so that each child has his/her own set of materials and there is no threat of cross-contamination. In the bin, they will have a whiteboard clipboard that can be used throughout the day to practice number and letter formation. It is also useful if they want to work on a worksheet at home and they are not working on a table. Included in this centers bin, I want to put a pocket sleeve. Pocket sleeves make a teacher's' life so much easier. Any worksheet can become dry-erase in these pocket sleeves. It is helpful especially when I want to differentiate work according to the student's ability. Lastly, in the bins I want them to have at least 2 dry-erase markers and an eraser. These are the basic materials that students can use during center time. In addition, I want to add games that they can do to keep practicing things that we have learned.

Not only can this bin be used in school, but they can also take it home on the days they connect with us virtually so they can always have materials on hand. Please help us make this year more fun and exciting! Thank you so much.
