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 students have just begun their intensive reading class with the goal of reading one million words this year, but need popular book series in order to do so!

Living in poor socioeconomic areas, my students face numerous daily challenges in the midst of striving for an education.

Ranging from ages 14-17, many of them come from diverse families and receive free or reduced lunch. However, they are very close to passing the necessary exams to move up! Therefore, we have the goal to each read a million words in order to succeed in school.

My Project

Reading is your passport to success! Our class vision to travel the world by flying a million miles through the million words we read this year. Through the resources these books will provide for my students, they will be able to engage in various series and famous titles to excite them about reading! Some of the series I am requesting for my students include the Divergent, Hunger Games, Twilight, Bluford High, Harry Potter, and Lord of the Rings novel sets. In addition, popular teen authors, such as John Greene and Nicholas Sparks are included in the project to reach interests and motivate the students to keep reading as they find an author they really like! Finally, there is a photo printer for the students to be able to have pictures for their passports as they travel the world through reading, as well as, to build a family of learners in seeing how intelligent and beautiful they truly are!

Reading a million words requires a lot of books, as well as the need for options to please the various interests of our students.

Therefore, with this new supply of high interest novels and a photo printer for their "reading passports", my students will be rewarded for the reading they have done so far with new books to continue reading! Improving their reading level will improve their academic lives and overall life choices.
