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.
Reading should not be presented to children as a chore or duty. It should be offered to them as a precious gift. —Kate DiCamillo

My Project
Through our reading and writing program, it is important for me, as the teacher, to match books to readers to provide differentiated instruction. My students are eager learners with overwhelming potential, however their reading levels will vary. These books would enable my students to access books at their appropriate independent reading levels, and open the door to a a variety of new topics to explore. It is my goal to make learning inviting and engaging. Having a literate-friendly classroom is the first step in my ability to do this.
Obtaining a diverse classroom library and an inviting reading space will open the way to a wealth of knowledge.
Reading and writing is the basis for any subject area and the path to success in life. I want my students to leave my classroom with a heart and love for reading. If they feel safe, comfortable and willing to read, I have done my job!
