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

My students are ELL learners and live in a low-income neighborhood. They enjoyed reading books on interesting facts and sharing with other classmates. I love the enthusiasm my students show when learning new information from their reading books. My students enjoy reading about funny and interesting characters that go in adventures to discover new places or solve mysteries. This year my class and I will like to start book clubs during our reading block where we can have a rich discussion on how our characters change throughout the story. Unfortunately we do not have enough copies of books that my students are interested in reading and discussing with their peers. We are hoping that you can help us start building our book clubs with series books such a Judy Moody , Nancy Drew, The Magic Tree House and much more.

My Project

These materials will be use during our book club time. My class are split into groups based on their reading level and they choose a book of interest . Students will read and write anecdotal notes on a post it about important parts of the books. They each chapter and discuss their thoughts on the chapter we are focused on. This will help students improve their close reading skills .

These materials will make a great difference to my students' learning by enhancing student discussion.

They will build a better understanding of character traits, story elements, main ideas and making inferences through our book club books.
