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

Most of my current kindergarten students were learning remotely while in pre-k, due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. They did not have the opportunity to come into the school building and experience their learning in-person. They were unable to learn all of the social and academic concepts taught in a pre-k . Not having that in-person experience, did not allow my students to learn all the concepts that would have prepared them for a successful learning experience as kindergarteners. I am looking forward to making sure that my students will perform at or above grade level by the end of year. Most students in my kindergarten class are performing below grade level in all subjects (phonics, reading, writing and math). Most of them come from a single parent home and of low-income households. I am planning to provide them with extra support in the content areas so they will be able to perform at the same grade level as their classmates. I will be working with them in small groups to provide phonics and reading intervention. I will be creating phonics and bingo games (Alphabet, Sight Word) that they can take home and practice the skills.

My Project

Purchasing the right materials for my students will make all the difference in the world. On a daily basis, while at school and at home I will be able to provide my students with a set of laminated games and activities that they can play with relatives at home to reinforce strategies learned during small groups and class instruction. I am in need of a laminating machine for laminating sight word cards, Bingo Games (Sight Word Bingo, Letter Bingo, and phonics), and reading strategies so that students can reuse sturdy materials. Laminating sheets (5 boxes) would give me enough materials, where I can make sight words, and reading strategies for each student. A class set of Double sided Dry Erase Boards-Lined/Plain, which will allow my students to practice their handwriting. Four boxes of thin dry-erase markers, students will use the dry-erase markers to practice writing sight words, and word work (phonics) activities.
