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

This year I am teaching a special class (SC) with students in grades 1 to 3. The students in my class all have disabilities and require special education services.

They are also creative, funny, silly and excited to learn!

We are facing the same challenges as schools across the country that navigate going back to full time in person learning after being remote for a year and a half.

My Project

Students who have access to great books become students who love reading. Teaching kids to read is easier when they have access to engaging books. I want to introduce my students to as many authors and titles as possible. They need books that are high interest, rich in vocabulary, and engaging. Not only does this develop their love for reading but sparks their interest in writing.

Young readers devour books quickly which means they need LOTS of books!

During a reading workshop a 1st grader might go through 3-5 books! That means our classroom library needs to be fully stocked to keep my students' interest and develop a love for reading.
