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 class is a multi-age, bridge class of 1st and 2nd graders from the East Village of Manhattan. They come from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. My students possess positive attitudes toward learning. About 50% of my school's population qualifies for free or reduced lunch. Despite the fact that some students come from economic hardship, my students show up each day, happy, smiling, and ready to learn! Their thirst for knowledge never ends!

Each student has their own individual identity that helps make our classroom learning environment a special place.

Each child has their own unique strengths and interests that they bring to the learning experience. Furthermore, they all share a common interest for reading and engaging with text.

My Project

New York City is a diverse and wonderful place! The students in my classroom come from different cultures and backgrounds, but one thing that they all share in common is their love for books and learning. Students are engaged with a variety of books throughout the day; whether it be during independent reading, read aloud, or shared reading.

These new reading materials will be used to introduce students to characters from diverse backgrounds and help increase the representation of diversity in our classroom library.

In turn, exposure to these diverse characters will teach students to be accepting and appreciative of diversity. Students will have access to these materials throughout the day during our read aloud and independent reading time.
