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

I teach first grade to a class of brilliant girls in New York City. Many of my students are English language learners and children with special needs. Most qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

All of my students are creative, thoughtful, and eager learners, and much of their knowledge this year has been expressed through their literacy and play.

It has been so exciting to see them fully engaged each day as they learn through collaboration and play with their peers.

I teach 28 bright and beautiful first-graders in a high-needs area of New York. My students and I have been working intensively to get to grade-level proficiency in reading. We set realistic reading goals and are working to make at least one year's growth. They have a goal-setting mindset.

My Project

Do you want to help to bring passion and build a lifelong love of reading in children? Well, it's one of the reasons why I went into teaching.

It's my fourteenth year teaching in New York City.

I am amazed at how excited my scholars are when we learn about new authors or when I have new books to add to our library.

You could be a part of this wonderful project. With your generous donation, my students will enjoy nonfiction and fiction leveled books.

My students need a collection of high-interest books such as biographies, fairy tales and fun chapter books to keep my students engaged in reading all day long. Unfortunately, my classroom library does not meet the needs of my very excited bookworms. I can often be found at the public library three or four nights a week, checking out extra books for my students.

At my elementary school, my students are reading for at least twenty minutes per day. During that time, they have a chance to read their favorite books independently. The chance to read their favorite books with their favorite character would be an amazing expedience. I want to encourage them to build their reading stamina and stay focused on their books. A great way to do so would be to have the characters available in the classroom for them to read to.

In the end, I want reading to be fun!
