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

Maybe you know what it is like to go to a store and see all sorts of great outfits. . . and yet nothing quite fits you. It all looks so fabulous, yet it just doesn't work out.

For many of my early readers, finding a book can be like this.

There are all of these amazing looking chapter books, and they are all too hard! My school is 86% poverty and about one third of my students are English as a Second Language students. My students attend a public school in Oregon and come from all over the world.

My Project

With chapter books that are easy to read, my students will gain confidence. Right now I just have one set of chapter books that are easy to read. I need more books so my beginning readers can feel like they have a choice in what they read. All of these series look like "big kid" books, but can be read by my struggling readers.

If you can't read, you can't do anything.

This project will give my students books they can both get excited about and will be able to read! For some students, all it takes is the right series! These books will be read daily and will make a difference in my students' lives. Thanks!
