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 Project

Our fifth graders will love to read The Wild Robot. Within the novel study, we will focus on various themes. For example “Engagement with Nature and Technology”: "The Wild Robot" explores themes of nature, technology, and survival. It offers students a chance to think critically about the relationship between humans and the environment. The protagonist, Roz, is a robot who learns to adapt and thrive in the wilderness. This character arc encourages discussions about empathy, resilience, and the concept of community. The book can be integrated with science (ecosystems, animal-behavior), technology (robotics), and art (illustration and storytelling), fostering a holistic learning experience. It will also help us with critical thinking and discussion. Through reading and discussions, students will enhance their comprehension skills and learn to articulate their thoughts about complex themes.

Students have diverse learning styles and this book can help because it is an engaging narrative with vivid illustrations that appeal to various learning styles, making it accessible for all students.

Your project could aim to provide each student with their own copy of the book, along with supplementary materials to enrich their learning experience.
