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

Whispers of excitement spread across the room when my students see the fresh new copies of Scholastic News and Geography Spin.

The majority of my students are English Language Learners from diverse backgrounds.

My students love to learn and get excited when they share a text or an article they all have read. Through out the year, students are always reading Fiction books, however, when it comes to Non Fiction our selection is limited. Most of the nonfiction books we have in our library are either to hard or not interesting to a 4th grader. My students have always loved Scholastic News articles. Every time they would see me hold a new copy of the article, excited whispers would spread across the room. Once they would receive the article, there would be silence in certain parts of the room, while others would go to a different section of the room and partner read. In the end, everyone was talking to each other about what they have read. It was amazing to see how motivated and excited they were to discuss the articles. My students were also excited to take it home and share it with their parents

My Project

This school year, I will be working with two classes, specifically during their reading block. My focus for this school year is to build my students vocabulary and comprehension by using shared texts, short passages and articles. I also want to expose my students to what is currently happening in the world. Scholastic News and Geography Spin will give my students the opportunity to access materials that pertain to daily events. The articles will motivate my scholars to read nonfiction articles. There are many benefits in accessing the Scholastic News and Geography Spin such as exposure, motivation to students on all different reading levels, and they can take the article home and share it with their parents.

By receiving the Scholastic News and Geography Spin articles, my students will build and enhance their love for nonfiction reading.

It will also make them more aware of the daily news. As a result, they will become stronger leaders.
