Celebrating 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 class is an energetic, excited and overwhelmingly enthusiastic group of Kindergarteners . They are a funny, dedicated, and inquisitive group of students who run into the classroom and don't want to leave! They are four and five-year-old students who need lessons and activities to keep them engaged in learning. Our school is a new school with pre-kindergarten through second-grade students. Our school has a high population of English Language Learners, Special Education students, and students from various cultural backgrounds. Our students need a high level of support for them to learn at their best.
My Project
Our kindergarteners are reading lots and lots of emergent storybooks, retelling and acting it out in their current reading unit. To make this learning experience more engaging and successful, we are planning to invite families to see kids in action!
With families, we will be building scenes from our favorite storybooks such as The Three Billy Goats Gruff, The Three Little Pigs, and The Three Bears using blocks and manipulatives.
Students will build bridges and houses, and use puppets to act out their favorite story that they've read during this unit!
By acting out their stories, students will build narrative understanding, develop their oral language, and learn about sequencing and story elements. By creating scenes on their own, students will be engaged and make a meaningful connection and have a more personal understanding of the stories that they are reading. And such experience will be extra special for them if they can invite their families to the classroom, building and acting out the story with the people that they love!
