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

Many of my students can't wait for independent reading time. This is when they get to choose their own books and get lost in the world of their stories. Unfortunately, many of my students struggle to find books that interest them.

For many of these students, nonfiction books can break through and get them interested in reading.

Once they find a book about a topic that interests them, they start reading without even realizing it and soon enough they're drowning into proficient readers. They have requested books about history, space and animals. I know books about these and other high interest topics will get them reading and growing!
