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
Our school is a Title I school with 552 students, and all of them receive free lunch. Ninety percent of our students are socioeconomically disadvantaged, with a forty percent English Language Learner population at my school. In my first grade class, all of my students are English Language Learners.
My first graders are full of energy, and their curiosity drives our learning.
They get so excited when we are learning about new topics that are related to them and the world around them. Their love and passion for learning is infinite.
My classroom community strives for the best. I believe that all children can learn when one shows them that they are important and that they are special.
My Project
Read aloud time is very important in my classroom. I need high level and updated text that will my students listen attentively and enjoy being read to. Being read to will help my students to build their listening skills, vocabulary, and their undertanding of text structure.
By donating to our project, you will be helping me to teach reading comprehension strategies and skills that will nelp my students to achieve the reading comprehenison skills that are needed to achieve reading comprehension.
My students will not only be able to listen to fiction and nonfirction text but they will be able to read it on their own.
