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 classroom is full of ambitious third graders that come from a wide variety of backgrounds and abilities. I teach reading and writing to a morning class and then an afternoon class with over 40 total students. They are eager to improve their reading and writing skills!

Striving readers are often asked to read texts that are too difficult, but not in our classroom!

Third grade is a critical year for reading success and also to get students in the habit of reading for pleasure. Our class has set reading goals and shared them with their friends and family.

My Project

These materials will make a difference in my classroom by providing the students with high-interest books that they can access and read both in the classroom and at home. My goal is to provide them access to books that they may not have at home and can return them once they are finished.

In addition, I know when I am reading, I like to be comfortable and I want to provide the students with optional seating.

My students are ambitious, but need structured support to help them on their way to become fluent readers.

We have students from a wide variety of backgrounds that are learning the English language as well as students with various behavior and academic needs. We are looking to expand their attitude toward reading as well as their vocabulary and language skills.
