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 Project

My students are incredibly resilient and eager to learn, despite the challenges they face. Their enthusiasm for reading and storytelling is truly inspiring, and I'm excited to nurture their passion with Stephen King's novels.

These books will create a calming space for students by providing an escape into rich, immersive worlds.

Reading is a soothing activity that allows them to relax and focus, reducing stress and anxiety. King's storytelling prowess will captivate their imaginations, offering a peaceful retreat from daily pressures.

The requested novels will make a significant difference in their learning by enhancing vocabulary, improving reading comprehension, and developing critical thinking skills. King's complex characters and intricate plots will challenge students to analyze deeply and draw connections, fostering a calm, contemplative learning environment.

Our goals for this project are to:

Increase reading engagement and enjoyment

Improve literary analysis skills

Encourage thoughtful discussions on themes and societal issues

Provide a calming, immersive reading experience

What makes my students special is their resilience and their ability to find joy in learning despite adversity. They approach new challenges with open minds and support each other's growth. This project will give them a shared experience to bond over, creating a calm, collaborative atmosphere in our classroom.

By exploring King's works, students will also develop empathy and emotional intelligence, as they navigate the complex emotions and motivations of his characters. This will contribute to a more understanding and peaceful classroom environment.
