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 room is full of eager learners who are working hard to catch up! I teach 4th and 5th graders who are an average of 2 years behind in reading. Despite the tough realities they face in education and often times in their personal lives, my students continually amaze me with their perseverance and brilliance.

A large obstacle that is hindering their growth in reading is the lack of books in their homes due to financial constraints. In order to make huge gains in reading this year, they need to be reading at home every night. Their parents are very supportive of this idea but have expressed to me the difficulties they are facing in providing reading material for students.

I would like to start a new borrowing system that allows students to bring as many books into their home as possible without depleting our limited supply. My students would love to have some sturdy book bags that they could use to transport borrowed books to and from school.

These book bags would allow my students to feel a sense of ownership in their reading progress. They would be thrilled to take the responsibility for choosing/borrowing books and reading at home!
