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

"Never let the fear of striking out stop you from playing the game"...this is the saying I use with my students. I constantly motivate my students to read and write daily. Please help my students succeed in school by giving them the materials needed to be lifelong learners.

I have two Reading/Language Art classes and the students are so excited about their fifth grade year and all the learning that comes with it!

The students are working hard to achieve their reading goals and enjoy using different genres of writing. They could use extra help on learning to write using the writing process and these books would really help them achieve this. They need exposure on writing expository, narratives, and opinions.

My Project

The students will benefit from daily writing prompts that will help to improve their writing skills and how to write using persuasive, expository, opinion, and narrative. Furthermore, they will be learning about the Holocaust and will benefit from having a class set of the novel to read as well as other novels.

This will help my students to improve their writing skills and being able to write using different genres.

They will be prepared for the new Florida Standards on writing. Moreover, they will also read together as a group with a class set of the novel Number The Stars as we learn about the Holocaust Unit.
