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 wonderful fourth graders love reading - especially graphic novels, superhero books and joke books. They are caring, creative and hard-working. They are eager to fluently add and subtract. They love conducting science experiments Their eyes light up when they are engaged in learning experiences.

Please, help make our classroom into the organized and supportive learning environment my students so desperately need.

For many of my students, the classroom is a place to escape into a nurturing, supportive environment. Almost all of them come from low income households. Many of them have experienced trauma in their lives and have difficulty coming to school. Once they are in the classroom we work as hard asa possible to create a nurturing space that will help them live up to their potential and be happy, healthy and successful.

My struggling readers need books that will get them interested in reading and feeling confident in their reading abilities. These students find it hard to find books on their level that really interest them. But there are some great ones out there! I know that if I can get these books in their hands I can get these kids reading! They have the potential, and you can help them reach it. My students adore Mo Willems characters like cat the cat, elephant and piggies and the pigeon. At this point they are like old friends they love to visit. Blob fish has become a particular fascination for my students, and I know they will be thrilled to have books about this strange creature. Graphic novels like Dog Man help even the most disengaged readers get the pages turning. Books by Adam Rubin like Dragons Like Tacos and Those Darn Squirrels are hilarious and the kids really love them.
