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

My wonderful fourth graders love reading - especially graphic novels, superhero books and joke books. They are caring, creative and hard-working. They are eager to fluently add and subtract. They love conducting science experiments Their eyes light up when they are engaged in learning experiences.

Please, help make our classroom into the organized and supportive learning environment my students so desperately need.

For many of my students, the classroom is a place to escape into a nurturing, supportive environment. Almost all of them come from low income households. Many of them have experienced trauma in their lives and have difficulty coming to school. Once they are in the classroom we work as hard asa possible to create a nurturing space that will help them live up to their potential and be happy, healthy and successful.

My Project

My students need non fiction books to build literacy skills and learn more about the world, and they need a comfy reading spot to enjoy them from. These young minds are eager for information and stories about our world, and they will love these books about history and science. They are fascinated by far off places and distant times, and these National Geographic books about historical events and distant planets will fuel their curiosity. These city kids are always asking for books about nature, especially animals. Even reluctant readers will find something here to love, and these interesting nonfiction topics will help them get hooked on reading! These books will help them learn to read and read to learn.

They will especially enjoy these books from the comfort of our ottoman!
