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 students are undeniably the best. Each one is unique in their own way. I love seeing their faces light up when they are successful in learning a new concept. I am completely in awe of their resilience. No matter what they have been through in the past 2 years, they persisted. True heroes!

I want to make them life long learners with a love for new adventures.

I want them to know their hard work does have rewards. These students are truly academic warriors

My Project

In my class I have a wide range of learners. The students who struggle the most with reading and writing have the least resources at their disposal. The books I have listed will be used to level the learning field. The books were chosen by my students. I want them to make a personal connection with reading and writing.

Another road block my students face is limited or no access to technology outside of school.

Often my students are unable to access books online due to unavailable technology. I try to provide them with resources but my resources are limited. These sets of books will give my students the opportunity to truly show their potential. The seating will allow my students to create their own personal reading spot. Some of my students struggle with getting themselves focused.

I want my students to become avid readers and writers. Each and every one of my students has so much potential. These books will provide them to grow as readers and provide them with topics for writing. I know the desire to learn is there, we just need the resources.
