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 currently teach in a 4th grade ICT classroom that consists of general education students and special education students with IEPs.

The students are of mixed backgrounds and many are from low-income families.

They have reading levels that range from level J to level T. They all have different learning styles, so it is beneficial for tasks to be visual and hands on whenever possible.

My students treat each other with respect and dignity for all. They are very kind to each other and very respectful to adults.

My Project

My students will be able to learn about a variety of informational topics.

I want my students to be engaged learners.

Before I submitted this project to Donorschoose, I asked them what type of topics they would like to learn more about. I made sure to include everyone's suggestions as well as topics that relate to our units of study.

It's important for kids to have choice when it comes to reading. Their world right now is full of choices between, television, videogames, youtube, etc....In order for their choice to be a BOOK, we must supply them with topics that peak their interest.
