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 school is located in an at risk neighborhood and we have students bused in from around the valley. I teach First Grade. My classroom demographics is multicultural with numerous native languages spoken by my students and parents. My school is an oasis of learning. We have the best staff and we put our students first.

Many of my students come from lower income parents who desire their children to obtain the best education. I have students that have a parent serving in the US Military in a foreign country. School is the only safe haven for some of my students. They know they will have fun, learn and eat two meals a day.

First Graders love books. Learning to read is the core of First Grade. My classroom is full of leveled books purchased by myself and my school. The mobile book libraries will allow me to level additional books and make them more accessible to the students. My students may checkout books to go home in addition to keeping their personal book bags at their desk. At the moment, my students have to look through bins that are over full and they have difficulty. Additional library leveled bins will allow the students to easily access the books and thus, enjoy more books!

Your generous support will allow my students to find that special book that may make all the difference in their development of loving to read. My biggest challenge in our technological world is hooking kids on the wonders of reading a great book.
