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 first grade to a class of brilliant girls in New York City. Many of my students are English language learners and children with special needs. Most qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

All of my students are creative, thoughtful, and eager learners, and much of their knowledge this year has been expressed through their literacy and play.

It has been so exciting to see them fully engaged each day as they learn through collaboration and play with their peers.

I teach 28 bright and beautiful first-graders in a high-needs area of New York. My students and I have been working intensively to get to grade-level proficiency in reading. We set realistic reading goals and are working to make at least one year's growth. They have a goal-setting mindset.

My Project

Do you remember going to the bookstore as a kid and buying your very own book to take home and keep forever? I would love for my students to have that experience!

I remember going to the bookstore every weekend while growing up and I would spend hours perusing all of the shelves, trying to find the perfect book to buy with my hard-earned allowance money.

Visiting a bookstore and buying books is often an experience that we take for granted and yet for some of my students, this is not a literacy event that occurs in their lives. I would love to provide my students with the opportunity to purchase a book of their choice during a class trip to a Barnes and Noble bookstore.

My students have been working hard all year long to become readers. They love to read and get so excited when new books are introduced to our classroom library. Though we have provided our students with wonderful books and cozy reading spots in our classroom, I would like them to experience the particular joy of being in a bookstore. Such an experience not only bolsters literacy and a love of reading, it also allows the child to see how booksellers make books and reading their life's work, and connects the child to the community and the value of face time in a virtual world. I am requesting gift cards for my students to use on our field trip to the bookstore.

Your donation will draw awareness to the pleasures of time spent in a bookstore at a young age and hopefully, this unique experience will help my bookworms to value and enjoy bookstores throughout their lives.
