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

I teach at a city school in a tough neighborhood. Poverty, violence, and sometimes hunger are challenges my kids experience every day. For many, school is the safe zone to learn and play.

Every year I have students who love to explore new books and topics.

What I am missing are books that they can access easily. We are trying to build a small library in our classroom which the students can use every day.

Third grade is a big year for developing readers and writers. Please help them get this supply of new books in the classroom.

My Project

"There is no such thing as a child who hates to read; there are only children who have not found the right book." —Frank Serafini

My students read for 20 minutes in class daily.

These books will be used every day. Twice a week, they read/share a book with a friend. I am hoping that these books which are from a variety of genres will give our library a good start. The new books will garner greater interest in reading and keep my students engaged. This will make them better readers and, maybe, build a love for reading that will last a lifetime.
