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

I am teaching second grade in a Title I school. Our children are eager to learn, creative and ask questions to understand more about the world around them. Our students are amazing and I am lucky to get the opportunity to watch them grow both academically and emotionally. With your help, we can acquire the tools necessary to support these students in a 21st century classroom. My goal is for all students to reach their full potential and become critical thinkers by learning about current events through a shared experience.

My Project

In today's world children are constantly faced with news stories from social media. Students need to be able to listen to a news story and differentiate fact from opinion. They need to also ask questions to further understand how point of view impacts the story, and how it is being presented. By using TIME For Kids as a shared text, we could incorporate local and global events within our classroom at a level that students will be successful reading. We will incorporate reading strategies in conjunction with the articles so that students will become better readers while learning about the world around them. TIME For Kids is aligned with the standards and provides instructional materials that are also aligned with the standards. The TIME For Kids magazine features age-appropriate stories that kids are excited about. When students are excited about what they are reading they are more focused and want to take part in their learning.
