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 am currently a learning support teacher at a public school in the Hunting Park neighborhood of Philadelphia, PA. As a learning support teacher I work with fifth grade students with varying special needs. Each of these students has an Individualized Education Program to help guide their instruction through differentiation, modifications, and accommodations in the classroom. Generally, the students on my caseload perform two to three grades below their grade level expectancy. Many of my students present difficulties with based phonics, decoding and comprehension. They also have difficulties in math including basic operation skills. These students greatly benefit from computer based intervention programs, which will provide them with a personalized learning experience tailored to their individual needs.

My Project

Educational "newspapers" for children are a fun resource to increase science and social studies knowledge. These magazines are a fun, yet informational way for students to learn about the world around them. These magazines will provide students with the chance to learn about current events at their level.

Not only will they provide students with knowledge, but they will create good habits in regards to continuing to read paper materials to learn about current events.

These magazines will also be used as tools to improve comprehension. Students will be asked questions about what they have learned into order to demonstrate comprehension.
