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.
My Students
The majority of my third-grade students come from low-income single parent homes. Unfortunately, many of the parents are uneducated and not able to help their children develop reading skills. On the first day of school, more than 90% of the students that entered my classroom were not reading at a third-grade level. These students are hard working and goal oriented, they just need reading materials that will help them to develop the reading skills they need in order to achieve their academic goals.
My students are part of a T.E.A.M.
because we believe that Together Everyone Achieves Mastery. At the end of the year, my third graders must pass an online state test in order to go to fourth grade. My students do not come to school with a love a literacy. I know that by incorporating different genres into our daily literacy lessons my students will reach their goals, and become third-grade readers.
My Project
Building literacy through writing has been an essential component in the daily academic tasks in my classroom. In order to ensure that all of my students are able to express themselves through writing, I must ensure that they are confident writers.
My students will need pencils, highlighters, notebooks, and pens in order to create well written stories in our first Writing Center.
The goal is to promote individuality through writing their own thoughts on paper. This school year, I would like to see students create art to go along with their writing. Many students prefer to express themselves through visual representations. I feel that by providing colored pens, markers, and unique notebooks, students who are visual learners will begin to enjoy writing as well. Seeing them produce creative pieces of writing and add their personality with art, is truly rewarding. Having access to these materials in my classroom will help encourage my students to love writing.
More than half of students from low‑income households
