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 first and second graders love reading—especially graphic novels, superhero books, and joke books. They are fascinated by history, science, and sports. They are caring, creative, and hard-working. 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 hard to create a nurturing space that will help them live up to their potential and be happy, healthy, and successful.

My Project

My first and second grade intervention students are still learning to read, and these books will go a long way in helping them become stronger readers. I work with students who are struggling or need an extra push, and these books will provide just that. The number one thing learning readers need is practice. These books will give my students fun and engaging books to practice their reading skills.

With a library full of great books, my struggling readers will begin to grow into proficient, confident, and excited readers.

With nonfiction, fiction, and comic books at a range of emergent reading levels, all of my students will have a book that they can access and enjoy. And with books by beloved characters like Fancy Nancy, Pete the Cat, and Biscuit, my struggling readers will begin to soar.
