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 Project

I'm am a literacy specialist and special educator teaching first grade. This is my first week at this school after leaving a literacy coaching position. Mid way through the year, a teacher had to take emergency medical leave, soon after the class size doubled as new immigrants joined the class. This class had a substitute teacher for the last two months.

The classroom is missing a number of essential supplies, especially for the new English language learners.

Child appropriate cleaning materials, a speaker for music, pens, puppets, and a pencil sharpener. Beyond these basic needs, I want to expand play-based learning engagement opportunities accessible for English Language Learners.

I want to support writing with a study of great author and illustrator Lois Elbert. This will include intervention Alphabet study (Chika Chika Boom Boom materials), our final science writing unit on plant life cycles, establishing writing center, and collage, in connection with two autobiographies about her art process I already have.

I also want to establish a listening center for my English Language Learners. This activity, with print books and CDs, is excellent for parallel literacy and oral language building.

I included some play-based geometry exploration materials. These are for experiential learning centers, and will be paired with explicit geometry lessons in the coming unit.

You will see a few turn-based board games, which are an excellent language learning tool for simple, rule based verbal interactions. This creates positive, play based opportunities for language practice. This will be paired with explicit language instruction.

These items will make a big difference in this moment of urgent literacy and language intervention, as well as establishing a positive classroom environment.
