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 a 2nd grade ESE inclusion class in a Title 1 school. My students are amazing kids with diverse backgrounds and different needs. My kids enjoy learning new things and love to read. All my kids are on different reading levels, some still learning letter sounds and piecing them together to form words, others reading on or above level chapter books and others in between. Having an organized classroom library and individual book bins in the cart will make it faster and easier for my kids to find books right for them and increase reading time. My kids are special and I am grateful to be their teacher.

My Project

My students love books! I have tons of books I have bought and been gifted throughout my years of teaching, however, I don't have a way to organize them making it hard for my kiddos to search for a book not only on their level but also a topic that interests them. The book bins will help me organize my books by topics and the cart with bins will be used for individual book bins where my kids can place a selection of just right books that they are excited to read. Also, with the Covid-19 pandemic, I would like to keep as many things as I can for individual use, the book bin cart will allow each student to have their own bin with their books for the week on their level which will not only reduce the number of kids in the library at a time but will also reduce the time spent looking for a book giving my kids more time to actually read!
