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 English Language Arts eighth graders are special education students. They also live in a low income New York area, where they are surrounded by depression, drugs, gangs, etc

Most of my students have never been to a public library and do not like to read, so by stocking my classroom library with a variety of GRAPHIC novels, I can expand their knowledge and love of books.

Finding interesting topics and story lines to immerse themselves in, I feel will increase their chance of reading all the time.

My Project

With these graphic novel books, my students can understand the story lines their General Education counterparts love to read. I can also teach them plot, action, and character traits through enrichment activities of their selected independent reading novel. By using these high interest low level novels I feel that my students will absorb the knowledge that is important to be a great reader and better student.

By making this thoughtful and gracious donation, you will be feeding the minds as well as building confidence with my special needs students by proving that reading builds knowledge and they can do anything they put their minds to.
