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 class is composed of special education students, some of whom are also English Language Learners. My 3rd and 4th grade students are reading between a Pre-Kindergarten and 2nd grade level. My fear is that if I am not able to support their needs this year, they will only fall further behind.

All of my students receive free lunch.

Many are from single parent homes, and most come to school with no supplies. They struggle every day, but they want better; they want to learn, and I believe they can. The students in our class are a diverse group. They come from hard working families; however, many are below the standard reading level for their grade based on New York State Standards. This is in part due to disabilities, in addition to many who are English Language Learners and/or come from homes where English is not the primary language spoken. This puts them at a distinct disadvantage, as compared to those who are fortunate enough to have been raised in a home where parents have provided the initial steps towards literacy.

My Project

Fortunately for my class, there are a maximum of twelve students, and although they present with the highest needs, I believe with the correct resources I will be able to target their deficits and inspire lifelong readers. I truly want to help them to become literate members of society. Once the classroom has books that are at their level, the lives of the students will be majorly impacted. These books will provide me the ability to continue working in small groups to target reading skills that students need to focus on.

These small groups focus on improving reading fluency, comprehension and phonics depending on group needs.

These groups cannot be successful without the necessary resources. Our classroom has a very limited number of books that are at the appropriate level for these students and we are in desperate need for more books, especially those that are below their grade level.
