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 Project

My students are all English Language Learners. They have been in this country for less than 6 years. They are the "Covid" students that were home during their 5th and 6th grade years where we were all learning to adjust to the new normal. Upon talking with them, I learned that they haven't read a "real book" in school. They were not given the opportunity to fall in love with reading as most children do during those special school grades.

My goal for this project is to read with them a classic book that includes some basic life lessons such as self belief and the true power lies within oneself whilst riding on the popularity of its sister novel, Wicked.

My students are all special. They come from different parts of the world making my classroom more special with their diverse talents and abilities.
