FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Gonzalez's classroom raised $938
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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
Our school is a diverse group of students. They have been disconnected from school because they have not had positive, engaging educational experiences. We work with our students to develop renewed habits of the mind and pushing them toward goals never before possible
Many of the students perform below grade level in literacy.
And, we have to ask the question, why? They are talented and critical thinkers and our students reveal their inner desires when we spark an interest, community issues, sports, and the arts. Our school uses critical pedagogy, cultural relevancy, and critical reflection to understand they can be successful graduates and productive college students.
My Project
The e-readers will be used for an after school program. Students will belong to a book group where book selections will be developed by the students. The book group will be facilitated by a trained group leader. The after school program will engage students in literacy building activities, such as guided reading, fluency, and reading comprehension.
We will expose students to culturally relevant literature through a technological tool, which will help build their literacy and tech skills.
Students will have access to more books that will help them practice their skill development.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
