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 kindergarten students are 4 and 5 year olds who attend our local community school. All of the children are from low income families and eligible for free lunches. Many of the students live in temporary housing including shelters or are doubled up with extended family members.

Many of my students struggle to come to school on a daily basis.

However, with constant outreach to parents and working with families, their attendance has been improving.

Our students are a special group of children who enjoy learning and are always curious about learning new things. They especially enjoy reading stories and writing their own books.

My Project

Our literacy coach just recommended a new read aloud called The Crocodile and The Dentist. We would like copies of the books in order to spark up a grand conversation with our students and have them engaged in a read aloud. The ink will be used in order to print out writing templates for our students to compose their narratives on the templates and come up with their own stories. The light bulbs will be used for our new lamps in order to light the room just a little when we want the classroom lights off. The vacuums will be used in order to keep our rug clean. We spend a lot of time learning and conversing at the rug. The storage bins will be used to store books as well as items for our class parakeets.
