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.

I am a new teacher of a fourth grade special education class. I am doing my best to engage my students during read aloud with fiction books that will activate their imaginations. The problem my students and I are facing is that we don't have any books in the fantasy and fiction genre for them to read independently during silent reading time, or to take home to read for fun and reading incentives. The solution to this problem is to create a faerie tale library in my classroom for my student to access all of the time. This collection of books will enable me to provide tangible rewards to my students for every book or chapter that they read independently. My students are, on average, 2 grade levels below in reading. Having fun and engaging books in my room will give them courage to read books that challenge them to become better readers. A classroom book collection will help them learn how to choose books that they can read independently. The resources I need to make this possible are books. The more the better. My ultimate goal is to show my students how enjoyable and empowering it is to read wonderful books. What better way to engage students with learning disabilities than with wonderful faerie tales, legends, and fables.
