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 caseload is made up of 30 wonderful students in grades kindergarten through fifth. The students I work with come from very diverse backgrounds with many different cultures represented. About 90% of the students are English language learners and speak a language other than English at home. Communication is a foundation for daily life; however, many of my students lack the basic skills to express themselves and find daily academic and social tasks challenging. Due to the fact that a significant number of my students are learning English as a second language, often they lack the basic sound-letter correspondence, do not have basic reading skills, have a limited vocabulary, and struggle to comprehend information. Additionally, a significant number of students come from low-income households. My students work hard every day, and I am constantly looking for new ways to get them engaged in lessons and expose them to new experiences!

My Project

I am constantly looking for new ways to keep language lessons fun and engaging because students learn best when they are enjoying themselves.

I have found that many of my younger students are coming into the school setting lacking early language skills and I think these materials can help!

Many of them need exposure to these emerging language skills and new vocabulary in a hands-on way. During Pre-K to 2nd grade, enhancing these skills is so important. These materials will expose them to new vocabulary and help them understand the similarities and differences between items. The Stack & Build Emotion Kids and Moody Monsters will help me address social-emotional skills that are so important in student learning. These materials will also give my students the opportunity to engage in play while learning and work cooperatively with their peers.
