Good Readers Desire to Become AMAZING Readers!

My students need interactive center activities to help them to comprehend lessons being taught. They need a guided reading table (half moon table) so that they can enhance their literacy skills and learn from each other.

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 classroom is one of self-esteem, discovery, thinking outside of the box, and reaching beyond what anyone thought was possible for my students. I have a 12:1:1 special education class in a low-income, high poverty neighborhood.

All of my students have some form of learning disability but, I don't see that.

Each and every one of my students has the ability, and DESIRE, to reach for more. For some of them, school is the most stable environment they have, with the adults as their "parents". I strive to provide not just a classroom with multiple learning paths, but a family setting in which they feel safe, loved, and wanted.

My Project

All of my students struggle with literacy skills. Whether is it due to their disability or that English is their second language. One of the biggest challenges in my classroom is helping my students become fluent, confident readers. The items that I have chosen will better aide my students in comprehending basic literacy skills. The half moon table will be used to work in small gudied reading groups. I found that guided reading groups helps the students to get the one-on-one attention from the teacher, while fostering a sharing of ideas and peer mentoring. The center activities will help my students become more independent readers in enhancing their basic decoded skills. Every one of my students wants to read and with these supplies, they will soar beyond what they thought possible.
