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 Project

This year will be my first year as a resource ENL teacher, servicing almost 100 students across multiple grades. I like to provide different fun activities for students to develop their language skills (writing, speaking, listening, and reading).

TPT resources will help my students develop their language skills in different engaging ways.

I want to engage them with resources that support their different learning styles and language supports. These resources will help my students to increase their learning opportunities.

The power pen activity sets will provide my students with extra support when working independently, while I work with other small groups in rotation. The Power Pen resources support children to practice and develop their skills.

Working with many different students this year will require the use of a variety of resources. Different resources that practice the same or similar skill will help students reinforce all the skills they are learning in class as well as with me. Constant exposure for ELL learners helps them to succeed more and at a faster rate. Resources such as the vowel puzzle, power pen books and card sets, and little readers, will help students with just that!

Lastly, a lot of these resources contain bright visualizations. Adding visual representation allows ELL students to help conceptualize words and comprehension to better understand new languages.

I try to provide every opportunity for my students to learn. I want to give every student I teach access to every and any learning opportunity.
