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 school is a Title 1, at-risk school, with a population of over 70% English Language Learners. I have taught kindergarten for 6 years, and am now about to start my first year teaching 1st grade at our new Mater Academy location, Mater East! I am SO excited!! Moving Up!

My students come to school to laugh, learn, be loved, and to eat a healthy meal!

We provide 100% free breakfast and lunch for our students. We are working very hard to accomplish our dreams, goals, and most importantly graduating college and becoming successful! 1st Grade College graduating class of 2036, here we come!

My students often face tough obstacles in their lives but arrive at school smiling and ready to learn. They love their teachers and they adore our principal. Our school truly is a community – a family. We each do our part as a student and teacher work side by side with one mission in mind: our students’ success. Each classroom in our school has their college graduation date written on the board. We help the students set their goals high and we strive to succeed.

My Project

My students will be so excited to not only become stronger readers, but to leave their everyday struggles, stresses, worries, problems, and all the unknowns, and escape into a whole different world as they read. The books will help my kids comprehend and become fluent readers! Reading helps not only build their comprehension, but it builds their fluency and self-confidence. Everyone is a reader, but some just haven't found their favorite book, so help me, help them find that one special book!

These books will help my students learn to love reading, and it will help build a library in our classroom that they love, take pride in, and deserve!
