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

I have a diverse group of student learners in a Title I school in Ogden. Although my kindergarten students face many challenges both at home and school, they still come to school each day eager to learn.

Despite their challenges, these five year-olds come to school everyday with smiles on their faces, eager to learn!

I have learned that my students learn best with hands-on learning activities and real-life integrated curriculum that is relatable to my students. Overall, my students are amazing.

My Project

According to the National Literacy Trust, "Play lays the foundation for literacy." I have seen the power playing games independently has on a child's academic growth. The reading comprehension, vocabulary, phonological awareness, and phonics games will greatly impact how students learn. As kids, we all loved playing games, and now, we can do it to learn literacy skills! These games will be used in rotating learning centers they will keep students active, engaged and learning. Also, my students need drawers to store their homework. Thanks Donor's Choose for all you do for our school children. You're amazing.
