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

Hi everyone! I will be going into my second year of teaching this school year as well heading to a brand new school! I am truly blessed to be in this profession. We all know what a year it was last year, and I am determined to make the best out of it for all the students returning to the classroom next year. Being a first-year teacher last year, I didn’t get to experience many things like having all my students in the classroom.

I need your help in helping me create our classroom into a home for them.

I want the transition from being at home all last year to coming back to the classroom to be an easy one for my kiddos. Thank you!

My Project

This year, I will be teaching SLA and I want to ensure the kids have enough books from different genres to be able to deeply dive in and love reading in Spanish. I have selected a group of books that I believe will achieve this in the classroom. These books will be kept in the classroom and won’t be taken home. Students will have time during the day for silent reading or partner reading. These books will also be useful for readalouds during the school week. Thank you again for your help!
