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

We are a 2nd grade special education classroom and we are full of love and charismatic personalities! My students laugh, play, care and give to one another with every moment that they can. However, my students face many adverse circumstances every day live in shelters, city housing developments, and foster care. Most of my students come to school hungry, without proper sized clothing or school supplies. Most of our scholars read, write and compute at a kindergarten level.

Our 2nd grade student's are living in a very traumatic time and above all are encountering many hardships here in New York City.

My previous scholars have shown their resilience to change and the ability to adapt to these unforeseen circumstances. This coming school year, our scholars will continue distance learning in some form and I can already foresee their resilience. My future scholars are currently in 1st grade, and will be entering 2nd grade in September and they have shown bravery with their first grade teachers. Currently, the scholars were only given an iPad or a laptop to work from home with. They receive 4 daily checkins just to promote socio-emotional support to the scholars and their families during this time.

My Project

Scholastic Storyworks Jr. magazines are colorful, engaging, and timely. This magazine subscription will help teach reading. They capture students' attention and make reading fun for kids. The material covered is based on current events and generates meaningful conversations amongst their peers. Most of our incoming scholars read at a kindergarten level, and we trust that this reading material will help close that gap between kindergarten and second grade.

Each student will receive their own copy of the Scholastic magazine allowing them to exercise reading comprehension skills through multiple entry points!

StoryWorks supports all types of learners by including leveled articles, leveled audio versions, vocabulary slideshows, and videos to build background knowledge and support all learners. This also aides in increasing student interest and motivation within the learning process!
