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

Students in my class are curious and inquisitive. They come from diverse backgrounds. Their differences make our class community rich and interesting. They are kind and compassionate towards each other’s differences. They love helping each other learn. They come to school everyday ready to learn and share what they know.

My students are very expressive about their thoughts and feelings.

They are not afraid to make a mistake or ask a question.

Most of my students do not have books at home to read. They bring a book from school every day and bring them back the next. The books in our classroom are outdated which makes it hard for students to relate what they are reading to their life.

My Project

Nonfiction books can teach children about how things work, how things are made, how people live in different parts of the world. When a child learns about a real-world inventor, they may be inspired to invent something of their own. When they learn about other cultures or where things come from, their world view broadens and they may be more understanding of other people or of their impact on the environment.

Nonfiction becomes increasingly important to students as they progress through school, and it represents the vast majority of adult usage.

For children to read and learn from nonfiction books they must be exposed to nonfiction regularly, and just as importantly, they need to learn the unique features of expository text.
