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

The over 300 students at Powell in Pre-School, Kindergarten First Grade and Second Grade love to listen to stories! They come from a variety of socioeconomic, racial, and educational backgrounds.

Nearly half of our students speak English at home, another half speak Spanish at home, and all are bilingual learners.

Over two-thirds of the students at our school are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and we are a Title I school based on students' language development needs.

Students' linguistic and literacy skills improve through exposure fluent and accurate reading. Our goal is that ALL classrooms in Early Childhood, Kindergarten, First Grade and Second Grade have a Listening Center. Our school has a plethora of English and Spanish Listening Center Books - but no Listening Centers or way to play them!

My Project

Our goal is that ALL classrooms in Early Childhood, Kindergarten, First Grade and Second Grade have a Listening Center. Our school has a plethora of English and Spanish Listening Center Books - but no Listening Centers or way to play them!

Our students will immerse themselves in listening to fluenty reading of high-quality children's literature in English and Spanish as part of their Literacy Block.

Students will be able to listen to stories read aloud in both English and Spanish. This will aid our language learners in strengthening their own reading skills. Students will also be able to share ideas about the stories they heard through speaking and writing with their peers!
