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 full of bright, energetic 7 and 8 year olds. They have a thirst for learning and are so excited by anything hands-on and interactive. Most of my students are second language learners, and the majority are Spanish speakers. They are the children and grandchildren of immigrants with hardworking parents striving to make a better life for their children.

Our school is a medium sized, elementary school in the heart of Hollywood.

Unfortunately, we do not always have the resources to provide the extras for our wonderful children. We feel that our kids deserve the very best and we work hard to get them all the materials and supplies that make learning special and fun. I can hardly wait to see what my students will accomplish.

My Project

I want to open up the world to my students. One way to do that is to bring the stories around the world to them. Furthermore, the Common Core curriculum is designed to prepare the students for college. That preparation starts in the primary grades. Our long term focus is to get each student college-ready and they are aware of that. The curriculum in the primary grades is to utilize 50% fictional text and 50% informational text. My students come to me at the beginning of the year with plenty of exposure to fictional writing. They need more experience with informational text. Scholastic News is a fun and easy way for students to read and analyze informational writing.
