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 scholars are some of the most curiously intrigued little humans that I've come into contact with. They are extremely eager to show what they know in a variety of ways to one another, all in order to help one another grow as readers and thinkers.

Not only are they eager, though, they are also resilient in making mistakes academically, socially, and emotionally, only to use those mistakes as learning indicators to grow.

My scholars surprise me everyday and ensure that I am bringing my best to them so they, too, can provide their best everyday.

My Project

My students know but still reinforce how invaluably priceless and powerful reading is. Additionally, they know how influential the ability of reading is and how much it can impact their listening, writing, and speaking skills now, and for years to come. Because of this, my scholars have taken on the task of completing my 40 Book Challenge before the school year is over.

Through various reading texts such as Forget Me and Percy Jackson and the Olympians, I am confident knowing that my scholars would be increasingly motivated to tackle the 40 Book Challenge because they'll have a larger variety of worlds to choose from.

As they get closer to completing this challenge, it is my hope that my avid readers grow a deeper affection and appreciation for books, for reading, to the point where their lives are personally impacted for the brighter.
