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 first-grade students who live in New York City. A day in the life of my ICT students involves them teaching each other and working together. As their teacher, I want to do my very best to make their year in first grade their most successful yet.

They come from low socioeconomic backgrounds and mostly Spanish speaking or bilingual homes.

They come to school eager to learn and explore new things each and every day. Having different activities to use will help them become even more successful!

My Project

These books will help my students build knowledge and connections in the classroom, home, and within their community.

When children build social-emotional skills with these materials, the outcomes will be positive and will support them throughout their school years and beyond.

These books will provide new skills, vocabulary, learning experiences, and students will learn how to treat others and about feelings. Books are a great way to help my students learn and grow. My wish is to be able to expose them to books of a variety of genres and topics.
