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

In order to establish lifelong readers and improve reading instruction, my classroom has a set aside time for independent reading while I am working with students in small groups. The students are able to read books or to read along/listen to books on their laptops. Also, during this time, some students can complete I-READY reading lessons on their laptops as well. I-READY is a computer reading website that offers individualized reading instruction based on an assessment. My class is in need of headphones for students who choose to listen to books or complete their reading I-READY lessons.

I am also requesting incentives for reading stamina as well as passing I-READY reading lessons.

Students can earn fidgets, bookmarks, scented pencils and pens. This will encourage students to read more, pass their reading lessons and stay engaged while teacher works with small groups. This will increase their reading stamina and improve their reading instruction. I would love for my third graders to all have reading pouches to keep their books organized. They can also bring these pouches home to read nightly. This will encourage reading and improve their reading ability.
