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 first-grade classroom is a place full of challenge, discovery, and life long learning. 99% of the students in our school qualify to receive free or reduced price lunch and 100% of all students eat breakfast and a healthy snack provided daily. My students come to school ready to learn! They are eager learners and full of life. My students are between the ages of 5 and 7. They love to work together and explore new things. It is so important for me to continue to instill a love for learning despite any obstacles they face living in an inner-city.

My Project

Having a whole class subscription to Scholastic Magazine will allow my students to read about real-world events. First graders love nonfiction and these magazines are full of fun and informative Science and Social Studies topics, such as animals, space, plants, and historical figures. During the 2018-2019 school year, I was granted a subscription and I just know that my future first graders will enjoy the magazines just as much! My students learned about endangered animals, past presidents, and being part of a community.

Purchasing a class subscription will allow my students to be active learners.

They will be able to highlight vocabulary words, underline important details and circle new learning! These are all skills that students often struggle with in the upper grades, why not get started now!

Students will be able to research topics they read in articles and create projects and give class presentations, which are skills that they will need for the future.
