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

Second grade is the best grade to teach. The students are energetic, excited, and eager to learn. Each day they arrive at school waiting to absorb the content being taught. It is important that these activities are rigorous and engaging. Hands-on materials are necessary for active participation.

With most students in low-income housing, it is crucial to give them the tools they need to be successful whether they're engaged in live or remote learning.

My students have many different learning styles due to their various cultures and backgrounds. It is imperative to give them every tool they need to be successful as most students learn differently. Hands-on materials and various literature will help them stay engaged and expand on their love of learning.

My Project

Many students have not had a chance to select books from a classroom library in a year and a half. The library is an important part of the classroom as it allows students independence to select books of their level and interest.

My project will help students become successful and enthusiastic readers—with specially selected books for every reading level!

Ideal for both guided and independent reading, the books chosen are leveled using Fountas & Pinnell’s system, making it easy to provide differentiated instruction—and meet every student’s needs. Your contribution will be greatly appreciated!
