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 second and third grade students are mostly English Language Learners who come from families of low socioeconomic status. Most speak Spanish and are mastering English, others speak English only. They come from humble homes who can't provide them with many material things. These families do their best to make ends meet. Some share their food and shelter with relatives, but despite these disadvantages they are eager and motivated to learn. They come to school with a smile and are ready to prepare themselves to succeed and take pride in their work.

My Project

These books will continue to enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create. My classroom library is a place where my students like to enjoy reading independently or with partners. Our class library gives each child access to books they might not have at home. Every book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunities to read.

These books will allow my students to gain pride among themselves, as well as understand others' cultures.

These books are a collection that celebrates the many qualities we share…and the differences that make each of us unique! My students are already gaining confidence in reading and this project will only help enrich their experiences with the printed word.
