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.
Give this project a boost!
A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
My students are outstanding Latino kids in the heart of Chicago. They are hard working, dedicated young people who deserve the best that education has to offer. Our school year and the school day are longer than a typical public school so we try to make the things exciting and fun.
Fifth grade can be fun and rewarding!
In the end, most kids say the year flew by and they learned tons about being good students and great people! They are always so proud of the work they have created, many of them keep those projects and self-made books for years to come.
My Project
Each year, my students create books for several different units of study. My 5th graders are authors of poetry, historical fiction, biographies, autobiographies, science-fiction, and nonfiction. For every book they publish I struggle to come up with a great way to bind their work in a nice way. We have tried everything from pipe cleaners to rings to staples but none of that will look as nice as having them actually bound in this professional looking manner!
My 5th graders will be so proud of their books with the use of these materials!
We showcase their books at our bi-annual parent teacher conferences where the kids present the things they are most proud of to their parents.
More than half of students from low‑income households
