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 Project

My students are excited about the opportunity to learn a second language and to learn about the people who speak Spanish.

I don't want my students to ever say "I took Spanish in school and I don't remember a thing!" The best way for students to learn a language is to receive comprehensible input at their level.

The Peter Va a Colombia novels that I am requesting are written entirely in Spanish using a vocabulary of about 300 words. This is a novel that is right at my first year Spanish students' level. They will be able to read and comprehend the entire novel which will leave them feeling confident and excited to learn even more Spanish.

In addition to the language that the students will acquire while reading the novel, they will learn about the Latin American culture as they follow Peter, the main character, on his journey through Colombia.

Your generous donation will help boost the confidence of over 170 Spanish 1 students each year. Thank you so much for your help!
