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

To say that my students have changed my life would be an understatement. I call my group of 31 six- and seven-year-olds "little humans with a love for learning." I often say that although I am the teacher, I feel as if I am the student.

They teach me to be silly, kind, and curious.

We are in a Title I school where over 90% of the students are Hispanic, and about 74% are on Free/Reduced lunch. Regardless of these statistics, my students have great capabilities. More than half of my class is reading on/above grade level. They are motivated and driven to learn even at their young age.

My Project

In true primary-teacher fashion, I would like to quote the one and only Dr. Seuss:

"The more that you read, the more you will know.

The more that you learn, the more places you'll go."

These books will give my students material to read to meet reading goals as well as district guidelines for required daily reading. In addition, they will encourage students to read in their free time and work on improving their overall reading levels. Lastly, these books will promote reading so that my students can go on to read books of all kinds, from a picture book about green eggs to a nonfiction science book about the life cycle of a butterfly.

This initial project will allow me to stock the shelves of my classroom with books that will provide experiences to my students that they may not otherwise get to enjoy.

Help me help my students quench their thirst for books.
