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 students are an extremely motivated and hardworking group of kids. They are sixth graders in an urban school district. I teach reading, writing, and social studies at a dual-language school. These students are dedicated students and learners. They are an amazing group of kids.

They are critical thinkers in addition to being compassionate human beings and mature beyond their age.

They are eager readers, dedicated writers, and budding historians. They are truly a joy to work with every day! Hopefully, this project will bring them the same materials and supplies that are available to kids in other districts across the country.

I believe it is important for students to work together in order to get the most out of their education. My students have been making do with limited resources for projects, but could do exceptional work with more.

My Project

I find that every kid loves reading if they are given the right books. What is the "right book" you may ask? It depends on the kid! There have been many studies done to show that kids that read more independently, do better in school. However, a lot of classrooms don't have a wide range of books for kids to read.

This project is designed to boost the amount of independent reading done in my classroom.

Through a variety of text genres, comfortable reading seats, and an iPad, I hope to have every student reading independently more than they ever have before!
