Leaving No Holes In Our Reading

My students need a classroom set of Holes for our first novel unit of the year. My students also need a pocket chart for our word wall.

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 classroom revolves around my students. If a lesson could be taught with no students in my classroom, they have no reason to be there. Student-driven class time is the name of the game.

We're a Title 1, School Improvement Grant School.

This year will have our school seeing a brand new principal and half of the faculty is being replaced. With more than 80% of our students on free and reduced lunch, they need all the extra help they can get.

My Project

Students need to want to read. With engaging books and novels, like Holes, we can read as a class. We can learn about how to read well and do it while using a fun book! Holes lends itself well to listening centers, whole-group instruction, and hands-on enrichment activities. We'll also be using a word wall to increase their vocabulary use. At the end of the day, I want them to love to read!

Many of my students don't come from a place where reading is made a priority.

I want them to not only value reading but enjoy it. By engaging them in meaningful and fun reading, we can make a classroom of lifelong readers!
