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 22 third grade students are amazing kids that truly enjoy reading! Reading is a HUGE part of early education, so we read and take AR tests daily.

They enjoy reading fiction, as well as non-fiction books and love to tell me about what they have read or learned.

I love to see their faces light up when they enjoy a book, or laugh during a part of the story. Like with everything in life, becoming a good reader takes practice. Over this past school year, I have seen that growth in all of my students. I hope to be able to provide them with more opportunities to grow and learn.

My Project

As a first year teacher in the third grade, I have truly enjoyed watching my 22 students learn and grow. Reading is such a major part of any young students success, which is why I need your help!

Just in my classroom alone, I have students that range from a kindergarten reading level, to a sixth grade level.

Most of the books I personally own are from the higher grade levels I have previously taught. My goal is to add books to my classroom library that include a variety of reading levels, as well as a variety of topics. The books I have included are on many different ability levels and all from Scholastic. These books include topics such as: science, technology, art, engineering, math, kindness, diversity, and more! Please help fund my classroom library so I can share with my students the gift of reading.
