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

Facing adversity should not be typical for eight year olds. My students arrive at school each day eager to learn despite those obstacles. They attend a Title One school in Bushwick, Brooklyn right across the street from low-income housing projects. The majority of our students come from low-income families, single-parent households with English as their second language.

In my self contained classroom, our beautiful-minded students need a common area for collaborative learning.

They would benefit so much by having more supplemental activities to engage their learning in the Literary Lounge. They enjoy learning new things from group or individual reading time. They get so excited picking out books, engaging in conversations about character types and story plots, and showing their parents how they are improving!

Watching the students show enthusiasm for reading as they jump reading levels is amazing!

My Project

These books will continue to enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create. My classroom library is a place that my students really enjoy. I read on the carpet to them, they complete work there, and they read independently! Every student book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunities to read. All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind. I have watched them the past few weeks of school read titles just like these, and I have also asked them what type of books they would enjoy reading. Students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading time.
