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.

I am a General Education, Common Branch first grade teacher in a heterogeneously grouped PreK-5 school in my 35th year of teaching. First grade is where the fundamentals of reading are formed. Every year I try to give my students the opportunity to go from emergent readers to confident life-long readers. During guided reading, three groups of students are working independently on literacy centers. A listening center would be an excellent piece to incorporate so that one student or one group of students can listen to a story read to them, which will also promote fluency and comprehension. The listening center would be beneficial to all students, especially English as a Second Language Learners and at risk students, because listening is an integral part of the New York State English Language Arts Standards. The listening center would include the CD/cassette player, six sets of headphones and a jack box with individual volume controls. It also comes with a lockable padded storage case. I am also requesting several books on tape on various levels so each child will have a chance to challenge themselves while utilizing our new center. When students enjoy learning, they achieve more. This listening center will facilitate students' learning and allow them to be confident and successful readers.
