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

All of my students are English language learners, refugees, first generation, and extremely enthusiastic to learn. They are like sponges that absorb everything. They are happy to be in school and do their best. My students are very giving and cooperative.

My challenge with them is that once they start reading and writing, the activities and materials constantly need to keep up with their growth.

Sometimes we spend time on a concept to learn but then at other times they just zoom through the materials. So keeping up with the reading materials is hard for me. Besides most of them stay with me for three years and constantly looking for materials is hard and expensive.

My Project

Learning English is hard and needs practice. As a teacher I need to use multiple modalities to teach reading and writing. we play games to encourage the listening and speaking skills. We watch videos and reinforce through songs and visuals.

The theme library will help my students learn the vocabulary associated with the topic.

The books have excellent visuals and help the language learners to make connections and understand the concept.

I will use these materials in my classroom and my students will benefit from them as it will empower them as readers.
