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

Our classroom is full of books, different types of technology, flexible seating, and music. Students are able to switch seats and complete their work all over the classroom, wherever and however they are most successful.

My students are a great group of students who love to move, create, learn, ask questions, and occasionally make a mess in the​ classroom.

I am lucky enough to have two classes of 4th graders for science. Whenever we have a lab to complete in class, you can sense the excitement from everybody, including myself.

My Project

I teach a group of 4th graders that love reading. We have to create sign-up lists for new books, they enjoy sharing their favorite books with others, and they love reading to our younger Buddy Readers.

Providing higher-level novels for my strong readers is a necessity in our classroom.

Finding age-appropriate books for my powerhouse bookworms has been difficult and these titles will be a great addition to our class libary.

My students have also requested four updated Kindles. Our current Kindle Fires are at least 4-5 years old, and some are in need of replacement. Our Kindles have several Audible and eBooks uploaded on them, and my students enjoy reading their favorite books at the touch of a button.
