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 teach at a Title I school, where my students come from low socio-economic backgrounds. The majority of my students are on free or reduced lunch, some have learning disabilities and many are English language learners.

Despite these challenges, they still come to school eager to learn.

I am excited that I get to witness my students learning and growing!

Everyday when I come to school, I get asked so many questions from my little, eager-to-learn students. My students are risk-takers in the classroom and are always trying new things... It is inspiring!

My Project

Giving these students novels will allow them to practice comprehension skills and strategies while enjoying beautiful books. The novels allow for students to dive deep into reading and enjoy a story at length. We will use the novels to complete novel studies where we read aloud together while also allowing for students to work independently.

There is no better feeling than a brand new book to begin reading.

Being that we are learning while following CDC guidelines, we aren't allowed to share books so giving them their own book for the time being will be so helpful. Exposing them to novels will open their eyes to reading. These novels will make students feel proud of their learning! My students will be so excited to practice skills using these novels.
