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 teach 5th-grade in Oak Park, IL. I was nervous about being a first-year teacher entering these strange times of virtual learning. Never in a million years would I think that I would be blessed with the most amazing group of students. I could talk about each and every one of my students individually for hours. They all are unique in their own way and I truly consider them family They are the most loving and supportive students to me and each other. I can tell that they listen to what others have to say and like because of the conversations we have had. Although I will not see these students next year in my building they have truly given me such confidence in my teaching abilities.

I look forward to creating a supporting, safe, fun, creative, and loving environment for my students to learn and grow.

My Project

All the materials and books I have included on my list are important to have within my classroom. Every day I research and listen to my students for the best picture books and novels out there. My classroom library is a place that I want my students to feel represented and enjoy reading at. I love to read aloud books to students in the morning or after lunch to get them refocused in learning. All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind. I oftentimes think picture books are the best to use when it comes to teaching specific skills or life lessons.

In addition, all the cardstock paper will allow me to create task cards for students to use during station rotations in Math, Reading, and Writing!
