Celebrating 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 1st Grade Class is made up of 30 students. Half of those students are ENL (English as a New Language) students. The rest of the children are regular education students. My class is part of a program that is in its 3rd year of running in our school. The idea is that ENL students will learn the language from language immersion, as well as a co-teaching setting for the Reading/Writing portion of the day.
Students are often teachers in each other's lives.
The ENL students are learning English and American customs from their new friends, and the native English speakers are learning about world cultures and tolerance from their non-native friends.
My Project
My 1st graders are learning to read and write this year, and they will grow so much in literacy from September to June. In order to help them, I need to create a calm, organized, easily-accessible classroom.
My students need organization.
Learning needs to be at their fingertips! An organized classroom with reading, writing, and phonics centers will help them learn. My diverse readers need an organized leveled reading center to help them choose “just right books”. My budding writers need a place from which to choose their differentiated writing paper. My varied phonics learners need a place to get their “grab and go” centers. Our classroom needs a place for everything and everything needs a place!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
