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

This year I was allowed to move up with my students. I've watched them grow from third graders to strong readers in fourth grade. As I've watched them grow, I've also been able to watch their love for reading.

The books that I'm asking for will help, seeing as most of the books I have are books that I had last school year with this group.

My students deserve an ever-growing library, to go along with their growing love of reading. These books that I've requested are more suited for their reading levels, so I will make sure that they are challenged. I have included fiction book series, and I plan to use them to help with my unit on Fiction Series. This will help with the understanding of continuing plot within a series. I have included two books for baking/cooking to help with our unit on Author's Purpose. I have included a set of S.T.E.M. books so I can use them to help focus on our Non-Fiction series.

I would also love to be able to receive more resources from Teachers Pay Teachers to help grow my students' reading skills, and the TPT gift card will allow me to buy more resources to assist with that. I plan on using these resources during small groups, and to help with differentiation within lessons.

Thank you for your consideration! Our fourth grade students will be forever grateful!
