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 fifth grade students are amazing. They have come so far this year despite the challenges they've had to go through due to the pandemic. My students are courageous, resilient, and strong. Many of my students have responsibilities at home, including helping younger siblings with online learning while learning online themselves.

My students love listening to stories that they can relate to, stories that they can see themselves in, stories that allow them to escape for a little while.

A book with an amazing story can do that.

My Project

As we return to the classroom, my students will have to have their own books to read in the classroom and at home. I have requested a set of the books, "Something Upstairs" and "The Fighting Ground".

In the past, I have had students share books, but sharing is not an option right now due to the pandemic.

I have my students read at least two novels during the school year. This year should not be any different. Sure there are digital books, but there is nothing like the feeling of holding a book open in front of you and escaping into the story for a little while.
