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 in a Title I school in the South Bronx. The students are very diverse; we are a mix of African-American, Latino and some new arrivals from the Middle East and Africa. The school goes from Pre-K to fifth grade and over 95% percent receive free lunch.

The students in my classroom are all special needs students.

They all have individual educational plans (IEPs). They vary in their needs from learning disabilities to social-emotional needs.

When planning classroom activities and conducting assessments, I keep IEP goals and outcomes in mind. I also keep the IEP in mind to determine how to collect and evaluate student progress toward educational goals.

My Project

Our classroom has been blessed with many many book donations. We need good sturdy book bins to organize our books by student interests and genres. When you build a classroom library with engaging books, students get excited about reading and they become better prepared for the future. Experts claim a classroom library should have at least 20 books per student, so a typical class of 28 students would have a classroom library of close to 600 books. I am proud to say that through organizations like DonorsChoose.org we have about that many books in our classroom. Now we have to get them organized.
