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 motivated and have a love for learning! Despite living in an economically challenged area with over 95% of our students on free or reduced-price lunch, my students love coming to school each and every day. My students do not allow their hardships to interfere with their learning and growth!

As their teacher, my focus and passion is to continue to foster a love of learning and help students reach the goals they never thought possible!

My students work hard every day and come to school with bright smiles, knowing that our classroom is an innovative environment where they are encouraged to learn.

My Project

"There is no such thing as a child who hates to read; there are only children who have not found the right book." - Frank Serafini

There is nothing better than finding a good book and getting lost in it!

With this leveled library, I will be able to make sure that my students continue to improve their literacy skills. In order to meet the needs of my students, it is critical to give them access to leveled books that span the range of the readers in my class. I want to make sure that my students are reading books at both their instructional level and their independent levels.

Providing my students with books at their levels will ensure they continue to grow as readers. These books not only cover their instructional levels but also provide variety for my students. Each student has different interests. With both nonfiction and fiction books available, I am sure each student will find a book to fall in love with. For this reason, I would like to have sets of leveled books that my students can choose from that match where I am instructing them during their guided reading groups.
