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

Our school has a diverse student population with many fourth graders who are returning to a classroom after learning remotely since March 2020. There are several languages spoken among our students and families. In addition to the language learners, my classroom includes students who have various learning differences which require individualized instruction.

Our fourth graders perform best when they are happy, enjoy school and have a chance to do something they love.

My teaching philosophy is to maintain a friendly, supportive classroom so school is a joyful place for everyone to learn.

My Project

Our students are eager to start the year off and what better way to do that than with a good book. After more than a year of some students reading texts remotely and engaging with peers via zoom, we are so excited to have student led book clubs. The books on our wish list are engaging novels written by bestselling authors. We chose award winning books that support our culturally responsive - sustaining education goals. These award winning authors also focus on themes about living with a difference and people's attitude towards people with disabilities.

We need these books to engage students in conversations that will empower them to have pride and value in their own identity.
