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.

I am a 5th grade Dual Language teacher in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Dual Language teachers need materials in both languages but unfortunately there are not sufficient funds available to make all of the purchases for our classrooms. I would like to engage my 5th graders in an Eve Bunting author study. Eve Bunting is a children's author who makes social issues like immigration, slavery, violence, and language evident in some of her books. She brings our country's experiences come alive in her books. Eve Bunting will be thoroughly studied and the children will know all about the different social issues that she mentions in her books. Her books will also be used for shared reading. Her literature provides an opportunity to teach intonation. Eve Bunting will provide knowledge for my students through her beautiful literature. Some of the titles include "Dreaming of America" and "How Many Days to America."
