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

It's hard for me to say exactly what I love about my students without going into extreme detail. Each one of my "firsties" brings an uniqueness to the classroom. Each year I find myself loving my students for different reasons. This past year, I loved the kindness they held in their hearts for everyone they met. I loved the smiles on their faces when a favorite author was mentioned. I loved the joyous declaration for reading when a new "trick" was unveiled. I loved their sweet voices patiently helping a friend in need of assistance. I loved the strength they had dealing with situations beyond any one persons understanding. Every year my students bring me different reasons to love them.

At my school, many of my students come from low income families.

The difficulties some of my students experience on a daily basis can be heartbreaking. My classroom provides a safe space. They get to be 6-year-olds and, for 8 hours a day, their worries are pushed to the side. Despite their troubles they walk into the classroom eager and excited to learn. One of the things I love most about them.

My Project

My students' current listening station consists of a CD player and a limited selection of read aloud books. The students do not have access to the book selection. They are limited to reading one book while at the listening station. Upgrading our listening station to two Kindle Fire HD 8 Kids Edition Tablets will give my students the opportunity to take full advantage of amazing reading apps, such as Epic!. Each student in the listening station will have a digital library at their fingertips!

My students will be able to read books based on their interests!

I absolutely love books and reading! I project that love onto my students, they gladly accept, and develop their own love for reading. In my classroom it is important to me that my students are reading books that THEY choose. Being able to use Epic! on the Kindle Fire HD 8 Kids Edition Tablets at the listening station will give students the opportunity to read books (that's right, more than one book) that interests them.
