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

Every year, one of my main goals for my kindergartners is to be reading with confidence. I want all my students to be challenged and also receive any extra instruction to reach their high goals and expectations. Through Center time, they can receive enrichment to challenge them, and small group instruction to reteach. My students are enthusiastic about activities that don't require basic instruction. They are excited to learn new things, and embrace a new activity or a challenge. I am continuously looking for new ways to meet the rigorous standards that need to be met. I use games and activities to make my instruction fun and interesting. I continue to research ways to keep my students motivated. I want all my students to be reading with confidence so they can continue their education with a positive and confident outlook.

My Project

My students will use these materials during Center time. I try and incorporate technology and reading throughout the entire year. During Center time, my students play educational games, read, and learn what they need to in order to be successful. The laptops will allow me to move my students where they work best to complete the great programs we have such as Ticket to Read and iReady. They will also use the AR library books to test their comprehension and introduce reading. I buy several resources online that need to be printed in color. I use these resources during Center time as well or any extra reading time in the classroom.
