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 an ICT classroom in a Tier 1 school. Our population includes 5th grade students in the general education and students that are diagnosed with Emotional Disturbance, Speech and Language Impairment as well as Learning Disability. We also have students who are learning English as a New Language.

Our diverse group of students love to read and enjoy having rich conversations about any genre of books that they can get their hands on!

Our readers range from at grade level to two to three years behind reading level.

My Project

Our class loves to read! Students are very engaged and excited to pick out new books every week. They consult each other for recommendations on which ones to read next but we are running out of books to choose from. The students also takes ownership of our library by organizing them and making sure that the books are in the right bins. With the colorful bins and the new books, our library will be more inviting to some of our hesitant readers and make sure that our reading materials have a home.

Your generous donation will enable us to continue our reader's journey with the characters in these books, as well as widen their imagination and awareness of the world through reading.
