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

Our school is dedicated to empowering our students to take charge of their own learning and actively participate in their own academic development and growth. We are a Title I school - without your funding and support, many of our students would not be able to participate fully in profound educational experiences beyond the walls of the classroom.

Our Kindergartners care deeply about their learning and are passionate about "helping their brains grow." They are highly independent, creative students.

They are empathetic and caring towards one another. Our students are curious about the world around them and actively apply their new knowledge to their lives. They are so grateful for your support and generosity in helping them be successful and achieve their dreams.

My Project

Learning Centers are a vital component of building lasting reading and math skills and developing practical applications of new knowledge for young children. By providing a variety of high quality, targeted materials, students can practice new skills independently or cooperatively with other students to deepen their understanding and process them more effectively for long term use. The materials for this project directly build on classroom learning to target students needs at all levels.

Kindergarteners are capable of identifying areas of need in their own learning and selecting targeted activities to address those needs (with a little coaching of course!).

The materials for this project allow students to work on reading and writing words with short vowels, identifying and describing solid shapes, counting, adding and subtracting, and listening, responding to, and writing about literature. They also provide needed supports to help young students work effectively - wobble cushions provide sensory input for children who need it to stay on task and the large format timer allows all students to manage their time more effectively.

By investing in these varied, high quality materials, we are providing students voice and choice in their learning. When students feel empowered to make choices about their learning they are more invested and persistent in facing academic challenges. These puzzles, dice, games, and listening center materials will give students engaging choices to help address target skills they identify as personal areas of need and allow students of all levels to select something that is meaningful and developmentally appropriate. By supporting this project you are allowing even young children to participate actively in their own education and find joy in "helping their brains grow"!
