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 are a blank slate. In TK, I get many students that have never been in school before. It's my job to show them that school is awesome, learning is fun, and sitting at your desk all day is not what we do! We cover a lot of academics, along with social and emotional learning each day.

My school believes in "Kindergarten to College," which is a huge motivator for our families, most of whom live near the poverty line.

It is my privilege to begin their journey to success with hands-on learning and interactive lessons.

My Project

In TK, my students are at so many different levels. I have students that come to me with no school experience, students that are already reading, and all different levels in between. It is my job to nurture and support all the different levels and interests in my classroom and to foster a love for learning that will last a lifetime.

When it comes to reading and writing, my students need clear visual support.

I will use a color printer in my classroom to make an interactive word wall that will help support my students in their very first journal writing experiences.

Together, we will create posters that label words they will use in their writing. Being able to print out colorful photos of community helpers, family members, foods, and other categories will make our word wall stand out and be clear. My students will be able to think of the word they want to use, easily find it on the word wall we made together, and write it in their journal. Not only does this process introduce them to journal writing, it also helps them become independent researchers that can find answers to their own questions.
