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
I service forty seconders who are passionate about learning and steadily cultivating literacy preferences through the exposure of different genres and series. Incorporating a wide variety of genres and series of books helps encourage student growth in background knowledge and foster interests amongst classmates. We love series like Captain Under Pants, Dogman and DIary of A Wimpy Kid. More recently they have discovered characters like Amelia Bedelia and the mysteries solved by Cam Jansen. We serve students of all abilities ranging from special education, English as a second language, and gifted and talented.
My Project
As my students discover different stories they will build up their background knowledge while pursuing areas of interest to them. A school setting is familiar to them, and they enjoy series about relatable characters like "The Lunch Lady" series and can relate to stories about pets like "Henry And Mudge".
Getting them hooked on a new series with familiar authors and characters will cultivate important skills like analyzing story elements, plot, character analysis, and themes.
Affording them at least twenty minutes a day reading independently gives them the opportunity to delve into literature deeper. Allowing for more literacy resources will help them make connections while they read and encourage students to develop a discovery of favorite authors, series, and characters.
As we gain more resources in our classroom library, we can develop an overnight checkout system.They are responsible for our classroom library and are able to encourage each other to try new series as they peruse the titles amongst their friends.
