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

My class is a bright and creative group of 14 Kindergarteners. They are living the amazing adventure of becoming bilingual and biliterate and they will spend this whole school year learning 100% in Spanish.

My students all come from different backgrounds but have one thing in common: they are all so excited to be learning in person again this year immersed in this multicultural setting.

My Project

Our school moved to a Spanish Immersion Model in Kindergarten last year during virtual model. The classroom which has been assigned to our little readers was previously an English Only classroom hence there are no books in Spanish for us to read and the school has limited availability of this important resource.

We need a wide and diverse range of stories with a diverse set of characters so all of our students feel represented.

We need books about the first days of school (now more than ever), emotions, real heroes who children can look up to, biographies of people who changed the world, strong children from other cultures who have overcome difficulties, boys and girls like them who come from different cultures, backgrounds, families. books about insects, animals, science.

.

Using these books, will help my students to thrive in the bilingual and multicultural setting they are growing up. Reading all these books will also help us increase our vocabulary in Spanish and improve their listening and speaking skills in this language.
