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 first and second graders love reading - especially graphic novels, superhero books, and joke books. They are fascinated by history, science and sports and can’They are caring, creative and hard-working. 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 hard to create a nurturing space that will help them live up to their potential and be happy, healthy and successful.

My Project

My little readers LOVE books. But it can be a challenge for them to find books they love that they can actually read and understand. That’s especially true for my struggling readers, and that’s where these books come in. With characters and topics students love at an accessible reading level, these books will help my students stay motivated and engaged during reading group. Every day I work with small groups of students who are currently reading below grade level. They work hard to master reading strategies that will help them become proficient readers. With your help these little readers will be able to practice and strengthen their reading skills with funny, interesting, wonderful books.
