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

We are a Title I school located in East Palo Alto. We became a K-8 Dual Immersion school in August of 2012. Before that, our dual immersion program existed as a choice school inside a regular SEI (Structured English Immersion) school in my district. Until last year, our enrollment was growing. This year, our enrollment declined drastically due to relocating to a new site/address, which added a commute for many of our families. This made it exceedingly difficult as many of them used to walk their children to school every morning as they do not drive or have any form of transportation.

Our school is a dual immersion school, where our focus is to become bilingual and bi-literate learners.

It is located in a low-income community where most of our students receive free or reduced-price lunches. Often, we see students in the care of grandparents or other family members while their parents are working multiple jobs. However, I see the dedication and perseverance that our students and families have as they better develop their native language or are working on adding a second language.

My Project

We have just begun building a home library for our kindergarteners by providing them with a book shelf to take home. Our students need new books to help increase the books they have at home now. The books are to be shared amongst the two kindergarten classes to ensure that all students have access to books for Spanish Language Arts.

This project will significantly enhance their reading habits and will give our students the opportunity to enjoy literarily acclaimed books in the target language of instruction.

These books will be used to help student learn dozens of standards through read alouds and extension lessons. The class set will allow students to interact with the text individually and as a group, as they would have access to their own copy of the class set.
