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 Project

My 55 students live in an impoverished area of Los Angeles. Their ages range from preschool to 5th grade. Some of my students have difficulty accessing the school curriculum as well as socializing with their peers due to their language delays.

Take a moment to imagine a scenario where you want to tell your friends an exciting and special story, but do not having the vocabulary or sentence structure to do so.

You try, and try, but the words do not come, and you can tell by the look of your peers that they are not following the story. You might imagine it would be difficult and frustrating. Unfortunately, this is how many of my students feel on a daily basis. Their difficulty with vocabulary and verbal expression impacts their ability to succeed in their academic classroom and in socializing with their peers.

The Expanding Expression Tool (EET) is a system that improves students' expressiveness and language skills, while making it fun and engaging for them. The EET has been proven to produce rapid results, in not only oral and written expression but also vocabulary comprehension. From single words, to phrases, and finally, to paragraphs.

Help my students express themselves to the fullest with the Expanding Expression Tool.
