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 Project

I teach a group of first graders who love learning and going to school. If you were to ask my students what their favorite subject is, you would get a wide range of answers including math, reading, social studies, science, and art. They are excited to develop their literacy skills.

Our school is very small but diverse.

Most of my students are from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Our school is a Title I school. Most of my first graders are limited English proficient. My students enjoy learning and have done well with learning the common core curriculum.

As a teacher, I strive to bring excellent literature to my students. My students need to be exposed to interesting books. I am requesting a variety of high interest read aloud books. My kids love read alouds more than any other part of the school day. They beg me to read more books to them. They could even listen to the same books read over and over again because of the high interest! I have carefully chosen books that my students will absolutely love. I am asking for funny books , holiday books, and Social Emotional books to help with their feelings. I want my students to see that they are readers. They will learn key skills as I bring these amazing books to life!
