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

As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. I teach in a Title 1 where 100% of the students receive free breakfast and lunch.

My students come to school every day, ready to take on the day!

They always have smiles on their faces despite facing many challenges out of the classroom. Many of them are being raised in single parent households and/or shelters. These things work against them getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as "typical". From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom I focus on their potential and growth by making learning fun. I may not be able to control their home lives, however, I can certainly control their experience during the school day and how they feel about themselves. By doing this in a creative and positive way, I am hopeful to inspire even our earliest learners to continue on a path of academic excellence.

My Project

My goal this year is to inspire students and have them create and build a love for reading. I want be able to enrich their learning using these leveled books.

These books will not only help them learn and discover more as readers, but help their sight word development!

These books will be used for guided reading where I will use specific books, based on the student need, and small-group instruction to provide differentiated teaching that supports students in developing reading proficiency. These resources are needed to provide this important reading instruction to my students on a daily basis.

The fundamental skills, words, and strategies that will be taught with the help of these books will aid my students grow as life long learners.
