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

Our students are part of a learning community in Central Los Angeles. They enjoy reading non-fiction texts about landforms, biomes, and historical heroes. After reading such texts, they enjoy sharing their knowledge with their peers and are eager to learn more about the topics.

They also enjoy reading fictional texts such as the Magic Tree House Series and enjoy following Jack and Annie on their adventures.

In reading fictional texts like these, they are able to escape into different time periods and are encouraged to immerse themselves into the settings within their imaginations.

My Project

During our class time, students are part of guided reading groups. In these groups, they are supported in the areas of reading strategies and behaviors. The ultimate goal is that they become fluent, independent, and avid readers.

With this donation, students will be motivated to take home books of their choice from our classroom library.

Additionally, our struggling readers will take home books that are at their independent level so that they may practice decoding and work towards becoming fluent readers. Finally, I want to create a classroom culture where literacy is not a chore but an enjoyable daily habit.
