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 caseload is made up of thirty wonderful students in grades kindergarten through fifth. Communication is a foundation for daily life; however, many of my students lack the basic skills to express themselves and find daily academics challenging. A significant amount of my students are learning English as a second language and lack the basic sound-letter correspondence, do not have basic reading skills and struggle to comprehend information. My students work hard everyday and I am constantly looking for new ways to get them engaged in lessons!

My Project

This set of books will get their attention and make the reading process more exciting for them! It is important that they are reading material they enjoy. My student struggle significantly with their reading and comprehension skills. This makes many tasks very challenging for them. Many of my students also lack the resources, language skills and support to improve their language and literacy skills. In speech, we look for fun and engaging ways to teach strategies and enhance skills that will help them succeed in the classroom and in their everyday life. Providing them with "Because of Winn Dixie" that they find entertaining and enjoyable, creates an environment which fosters more productive learning!
