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

Kindergarten is the start of so many exciting adventures! For many students it's their first full day in school, and the first time they may play outside on the 'big' playground! It's such a fun year, and my student's are ready to seize every moment and learn in every way possible!

The majority of my students are English Language Learners, and about 85% receive free or reduced lunch.

My students go above and beyond daily, and their desire to learn is inspiring.

My Project

Our Back to School season may look different than any other we have ever experienced! These books were chosen with that in mind. They cover a range of topics from emotions, back to school, and our first unit of study: Who We Are.

My students have out of the classroom since mid-March, and a large portion of our year will focus on social and emotional learning.

Our little learners are experiencing a 'new normal', and books like "A Little SPOT of Anxiety: A Story About Calming Your Worries", "Kevin the Unicorn: It's Not All Rainbows", and "In My Heart: A Book of Feelings (Growing Hearts)"will tie into lessons that correspond with our social-emotional curriculum. Books like "Hair Love" and "Your Name is a Song" will bring more diverse books into our classroom library and align with our first unit of learning-Who We Are. Books such as "Truman" and "The Day You Begin" are books that will be great for our first few weeks back at school!
