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 school has a mix of nationalities, a multicultural pot with all kinds of flavors but with one common goal; to learn and become the workforce and leaders of the future. Our population consists of ninety-nine percent (99%) minority students and 100% are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. As students are learning the English language or having their special needs meet, they are still expected to be proficient learners in their grade level, meeting all state standards.

My students are struggling readers eager to bridge the gap with creative activities and bringing books to life.

My Project

“Bringing Books to Life” is a student project that will include reading, writing and role playing. Using the Cricut machine and the story books, the students will create characters and settings to retell the stories read.

My main goal with this project is to provide English Language Learners the connections needed to build vocabulary and develop proficiency.

Together we will find ways for students to respond to literature; by creating different endings through dioramas, lap books or posters, making an illustrated-only book or designing a storyboard. Social emotional skills will be developed as students create artifacts from the stories to put on plays or making puppets for a puppet show.

Having my students become active readers opens endless possibilities to explore across the curriculum in science, mathematics and social studies, allowing them to extend their reading from different perspectives as they create and share their projects.
