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

Students love to read when they find books that meet their interests. In order to further my students' love for reading, I need a few class sets of interesting books, and an increased number of nonfiction books with relevant topics for preteens.

My students are sixth graders in an urban public school.

It is high performing bilingual school, and I am the English ELA and Social Studies teacher. They LOVE to read, both as a class and independently. However, last year, they tore through my classroom library in no time, so I need some new, engaging books!

My Project

Students will use the class sets in order to engage in high-level shared reading and discussion. They will use the sets of four as choice books for literature circles. Lastly, they will use the independent reading books to read and create projects with.

"The more that you read, the more things you will know.

The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." -Dr. Seuss How often kids read is one of the top indicators of success, not only in school, but also in life. Students need to be reading constantly and engaged in reading. In order to do this, they need a vast selection of interesting books. Thank you for helping to enrich their lives!
