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

Imagine leaving your home, sacrificing everything and moving to a new country. You walk into a classroom and you may not have ever had any formal education before. You have never read or written and you have this smiling teacher talking to you in a language you don't understand. These are the students I teach every day. Our classroom is bare.

I work in a large school with a very high immigrant population in the poorest town in Long Island, NY.

Many of my students have very limited schooling in their own language and are now thrust into a formal school setting. We are developing learning stations so we can listen, speak, read and write very quickly. We help students learn English while holding on and becoming literate in their own language as well. My students have come from all around the world, from many different and often difficult situations. They hold the American Dream, but need the tools to make them successful.

My Project

My English language learners need games and activities that focus on listening, speaking, reading, and writing for use in our Learning Stations. Our students will use these materials to plan, develop and create their own games and activities! These activities will be used during Learning Station times throughout the day as we listen, speak, read and write while learning together. They will be able to use these manipulatives during our whole group and small group time, learning fundamental language skills. Your generous donation to our project will improve our 5th/6th grade ELA/ENL classroom by building a stronger English language learner. This will change our students' lives for the better. They will love school and feel success as a newcomer --- having fun while learning!
