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

I teach a class of 29 diverse second graders in the South Bronx who come to school ready to learn and deserve endless resources, experiences, and opportunities.

My students come from diverse backgrounds and many come from families at lower income levels.

Many of my students come from challenging home environments and have limited resources at home. Despite the obstacles, my students come to school every day to a place where they are being molded into great students and learners.

My Project

It is my goal to allow my student's to develop a love for reading. All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind-I have watched them the past few weeks of school read titles just like these, and I have also asked them what type of books they would enjoy reading. Our school's focus is guided reading and allowing students to choose books that they love. If there are not books of interest, students will become disinterested in reading. Having books that will interest my students will help them continue to enjoy independent and guided reading time.

My students will be able to choose from books that will allow them to read independently at their own level.
