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.

So, you're curious about that? Let's dig a little deeper. I teach a class of 24 third grade Dual Immersion students in a high-need Title I school. All of the students are learning to read in English and in Spanish.

The students are VERY motivated, but calling out for nonfiction. Unfortunately, we have very little to support their interests and learning needs.

A study of Rocks and Minerals and Earth's resources forms part of our Science curriculum. While we have many specimens to examine, there is little about fossils and dinosaurs and their contribution to fossil fuels. The students are very curious to learn more.

Your help will ensure that my students not only have the opportunity to meet their interests, but also support the essential need to connect with and better understand the components of nonfiction.
