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

We are a public school located in the heart of a community which is also a low-income area in a large city in Florida. Because of this, students lack access to various resources. 30% of the students we service live in shelters. We are a Title I school which means ninety-eight percent students qualify for free-reduced lunch which shows there need for access to resources. We are in a large urban area with 533 students.

Our school serves students from eight different homeless shelters and drug-rehab facilities.

Thirty-nine percent of our students are English Language Learners. Like most children, our students are curious, eager to learn new things, and open to new experiences. Unfortunately, their economic situations do not always allow them the opportunities afforded to other students.

My Project

These books will make a big difference in my classroom because my students are learning the importance of reading. Our school is currently located in an area that is surrounded by families whose first language is not English. Because of this, we want to make sure that we expand our library with books that grasp the minds of 2nd graders.

We realize that reading, gaining, and expanding vocabulary is pertinent in our classroom and we want to ensure that everyone has the chance to be expose to our literacy rich environment.

Using these books, the transitioning ELL students will be partnered with and read to by a student that speaks English as their first language. Research says, doing this will help ELLs acquire language and vocabulary. I believe my students will be motivated and eager to do this only if the books they are reading are based on their interest. I would like all of my students to experience learning in an enjoyable environment and gain a love for reading. With your help, we truly believe this can be done !
