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

Our kindergarten students are 4 and 5 year olds who attend our local community school. All of the children are from low income families and eligible for free lunches. Many of the students live in temporary housing including shelters or are doubled up with extended family members.

Many students struggle to come to school on a daily basis.

However, with constant outreach to parents and working with families, their attendance has been improving.

Our students are a special group of children who enjoy learning and are always curious about learning new things. They especially enjoy reading stories and writing their own books.

My Project

Our students enjoy read alouds. I have selected some special books that were selected for my students such as We Found A Hat, Hugs for Pearl, and What To Do With a Problem series. These read alouds teach children life lessons that they can relate to towards their future. We also need post it chart paper in order to create anchor charts so that our students can use them as a model for their learning. Additionally we would like some tape in order to repair our favorite books that sometimes have a tear in them. The side shelving will be used to store folders of student work.
