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

In our inclusion classroom we have 32 students per ELA period. New this year to our school is departmentalization, in which my co-teacher and I teach BOTH third grade classes ELA. Our students live in a low-income area of the South Bronx. Many of them are not exposed to literature outside of the classroom, whether it be books, newspapers or even websites. In order for our students to grow as literary readers, it is important that they also become aware of the events happening around them. We hope that making them aware of current events will help empower them in the future to become great citizens.

My Project

This year in Social Studies and Science we are focusing on embedding Close Reading into lessons aligned to our Social Studies and Science curriculum. Our students have rarely been exposed to current events, science and other social studies topics. Being able to read articles about communities around the world, scientific exploration and other areas, our students will not only grow as readers, but also as citizens. These magazines will also guide students in developing prior knowledge that is helpful when reading new texts that are unfamiliar to them. We know that with these magazines, our students will become life long learners!
