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 school is located in the city of Camden. The city of Camden is known as one of the poorest cities in the nation, whose public schools are well below the national and state standards. In order to further embed the college dreams in our youth and bring up the state standard, I believe it starts with books and well-rounded early childhood experience. It is my mission, in collaboration with our parents and the community, is to strive to provide children an excellent education in a safe and positive learning environment where they are prepared with the critical skills to reach their full potential for a world yet to be imagined. My students are 4-5-year-old students who are thriving academically and socially due to our curriculum. Creative Curriculum is a comprehensive, research-based curriculum that promotes exploration and discovery as a way of learning, enabling children to develop confidence, creativity, and lifelong critical thinking skills. With this curriculum, my students will be ready for elementary school.

My Project

This entire leveled book system will be the students build their reading abilities without frustration. Through reading, students are exposing themselves to new things, new information, new ways to solve a problem, and new ways to achieve one thing. They may find new hobbies within it.

They may explore one thing they really like and it may end up becoming their career and success in the future.

Exploration begins from reading and understanding. Reading exposes students to a world of imagination, showing you nothing is impossible in this world. This book system will be my early readers become independent readers.
