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

100% of my students are English Language Learners and almost all of them live in poverty. They are highly motivated to learn and some of the happiest kids I have ever met. However, they arrive at our school with limited knowledge of even basic letter recognition and need as much help as possible.

My students are among some of the most fascinating I have ever worked with.

They are 100% ESL (they comprise 65% of the school population) and have a huge range of personalities, from fun to serious and everything in between. They have voracious appetites for learning and always want to learn something new! My students attend a public school in New Jersey. The school is located in a very high poverty and high crime neighborhood. Virtually all of the students I teach were born in another country and have come here with their families for a better life. Financial struggles are common in most of their households and the purchase of books for personal reasons simply does not exist for most of my students. If I can provide for them by building an extensive library of high interest books, then I believe I can begin to help them become star students.

My Project

Funding the Speakaboos Subscription would be an asset to all of the grade 1 ESL classrooms in our building. It would allow us to differentiate and meet the needs of all students in our classrooms. The students would have the ability to listen to stories on our classroom computers. Research shows that this is a great way to improve reading comprehension and skills. This would provide students with a motivating way to practice and reinforce the skills necessary to become successful readers.

Funding this project would help students become more excited about reading.

It would also motivate and encourage them to listen to more stories on the computers which would allow them to increase their reading skills. This would help them develop a love of reading which will impact their future education.
