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 third grade reading and I want all my students to have exposure to a wide range of books. Toward the end of the year, most of the students had read almost every book in my class library. I am looking to add new and exciting books to my library.

My school is a Title One school in a small Texas town.

Many of my students do not have books in their home and rely on my class library to read books. My students have time to read books everyday and often need other choices once they have finished their library books. My class library needs a vast variety of books that allow all my students the opportunity to find a book that suits their interests.

My Project

The students will have a variety of new books (My Weird School, Nate the Great, and Magic Treehouse) in the classroom library to choose from. With a variety of new books to choose from, even the most reluctant reader can find a book that is interesting to them. The students may have exposure to books that are not available to them in the school library and they will be excited to read them in my class. Providing the opportunity to read different types of genres will instill a love for reading and life long literacy. During my Daily 5 rotation of "Read to Self" my students will be able to choose a book they want to read. This instills confidence and understand how to choose a book that is a right fit for them.

This project will provide many options of literature for my students to choose from.

As they find books that are interesting to them, their fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary will increase. As the students become better readers, they will continually look for books that help develop them as readers. Additionally, as the students are able to choose books that interest them from my library, they will foster their love for reading.
