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

We are an elementary school located in the Bronx, NY. Our school is a Title I school with a 100% free and reduced lunch population. Most of our students are English Language Learners who have immigrated to the US in hopes of a better education. Our students love engaging in fun activities that will help spark creativity. They are fearless when it comes to technology and, as children of the 21st century, they need to be prepared to use a variety of tools to engage their world.

My Project

As an educator of the 21st century, it is essential I provide my students with the variety tools to be successful. By having interactive educational games, my students will have the opportunity to review skills and apply knowledge learned in the classroom. It is important that I create ways for all students to be rigorously engaged on their learning while playing games. As an ENL teacher, I will be teaching English to a variety group of English language learners. As research proves learning language through games can be essential in helping students improve their vocabulary building skills. For example, traditional games such as Apples to Apples can be used in a variety of ways to build language and vocabulary. Students can practice naming/ identifying parts of speech practice: nouns, adjectives, and synonyms. Another alternative is to have students come up with as many words for the describing word in a minute. The person with the most words win! The possibilities are endless! I believe these games will make a difference in our classroom and make learning fun and interactive!
