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 am the Resource Specialist Teacher at Carver Middle School. My students are enthusiastic and always eager to learn. The students in my classroom attend core classes and come to my learning center to receive ELA, ELD, and Mathematics support services. The students on my caseload are working on individual IEP goals, which include but are not limited to reading, writing, math, and ELD. I want to support my students and help them access the core curriculum alongside their typical peers, and I can do this with your help!

My Project

The students at our school have limited resources. It is a challenge to find books that are appealing to teenagers with our limited book selection. I have recently discovered that my students have a strong love for video games and comics.

I want to create a routine in the classroom where students are reading for fun.

The students are going to read silently and independently for 10-15 minutes every day in class. I want my classroom library to be fun and motivate students to read grade-level books of their preference.
