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 students come from a low income Title I school. Many of my students do not have the resources that they need at home such as books on their reading level. They also do not have books in another language to support and nurture their ability to learn a second language. In order to learn a new language it is necessary to immerse yourself in it. This is possible through books and learning materials.
We are a first grade dual language class.
My students are developing language proficiency in two languages by receiving instruction in English and Spanish. We provide both sets of students with ample exposure to the two languages, allowing them to progress academically in both languages and gain an appreciation of another culture.
Our school is a high needs Title I school in the Bronx. The majority of my students come from low income homes. However, that does not take away their enthusiasm for learning especially in a different language other than English. They feel very special knowing that they will be able to take advantage of opportunities that are available only in other languages.
My Project
Help give my students stickers, pencils and award certificates to show them how much I miss them and appreciate all their efforts!This September because of the COVID pandemic, my first grade dual language has been learning remotely. I understand the worry and concern my parents face and the reasons why they decided to keep their children at home.
Learning remotely is difficult enough, but add to to it the fact that my first graders are so young so being focused and engaged is extremely difficult!
I want to send my students who are working so hard to show up for my live lessons; and then continue working by completing assignments on Google Classroom an incentive to keep doing their best.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
