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

I am currently taking a university course in Creative Writing these texts are a few of the resources used in the coursework. These books will provide me with teaching strategies, lessons, content, and suggested structure to my intervention sessions. I will be servicing students that are struggling readers and writers. My new position duties are to provide explicit tier 3 instruction to 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students that have not made major academic improvement in the past 4-6 years. I will also support teachers in providing tier 1 and 2 instruction in the classroom. These books will be a great assets to my resource library.
