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

The kindergarten classrooms are on their own campus separate from the main campus. We are without immediate access to the everyday resources that those classrooms have on the main campus. We do not have extra supplies or a copy machine on our campus. Our school is a charter school but our students do not pay to attend this school; it is based on a lottery system.

My students live in a low-income community and the majority of them receive free breakfast and lunch.

Almost all of my students are labeled English language learners. The majority of my students have never been to school before. My students are learning a kindergarten curriculum but just missed the age cut off for the normal kindergarten classroom. They are four years old and are now transitioning into full days with me.

My Project

The alphabet mats with playdough, as well as the letter stamps and ink, were included to help students build their knowledge of letters in order to prepare them for reading. These materials would be incorporated during literacy centers. Students could use the letter stamps to build their sight words, their name, or to practice building awareness of the alphabet.

I need a listening station in my library to help guide students as they learn to read.

I have included a set of audio books, as well as headphones so that I can create a listening center. In this center students will be able to listen to stories through headphones, while also holding the physical book and following along.

To make the library more appealing, I have included two bean bag chairs to create a more comfortable environment.
