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 live in the highest crime ridden neighborhood in New York. However, that's not who my students are! My students are bright eyed middle schoolers who want to learn! They want to get better at reading and writing, and are willing to put in the work!

Although they are sixth, seventh, and eighth graders, on average, my students read, at minimum, two grades below their grade level.

How does this happen? The majority of my students, unfortunately, do not have the financial means to purchase books to read in their homes. Furthermore, they do not have anyone to take them to the library on a consistent basis. Therefore, over the years, they've slowly fallen behind in their reading levels. Despite being behind, they are willing and eager to work hard and get back on their appropriate reading level.

My Project

I asked a simple question. Who likes Minecraft? You would've thought Justin Bieber walked into the room. I already know that these books will grab my students attention, and help them continue to fall in love with reading.

Who knew Minecraft was so popular?!?!?!

My kids are on various reading level so I searched for Minecraft books that were at a variety of levels. We need books ranging from Kindergarten to 7th grade. By having access to a wider variety of books, my students are more inclined to want to read!

The more they read on their level, the better their reading comprehension. As their reading comprehension increases, not only does their English improve, but their mathematics grades improve as well! Thank you for helping my students grow!
