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 students are mixed general education and special education students who are excited about their upcoming seventh grade school year. They are 75% reduced price lunch students who come from various types of backgrounds and cultures, but who are all "my kids" during the school year.

My students demonstrate the ability to persevere throughout the school year as we read engaging texts dealing with daily struggles for the main characters.

These texts allow my students to connect to the character and see how their daily lives are not as difficult as they may appear.

My Project

Having one-to-one books of this amazing historical fiction novel is imperative in order to encourage students to truly delve deep into the content and text. Students can only get so much reading done in class. Based on the novels we currently have, students would not be able to bring the books home.

This project will allow students to be able to take the novels home with them and truly be able to close read them, the way they need to be examined.

Students will be able to read the chapters for homework, and come back the next day with post-it annotations, ready and willing to share what they've discovered.
