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 teach fourth grade at a title one school. These kids are full of grit and resilience but lack in opportunities to explore the world beyond our community. As an educator my goal is to empower and inspire students to be life long readers with compassion and tolerance for others.
Despite the difficult cards these students are dealt, they come in each and everyday ready to learn and change the world.
I work tirelessly to give these kids the best opportunities possible.
My Project
As a reading teacher it is my goal to have a robust and engaging library. Every reader has different interests and this will give them plenty of options to choose from.
Reading gives us somewhere to go when we have to stay where we are and my students have many obstacles that will keep them from exploring even beyond their own town.
This library will give them a chance to see the world through both fiction and non-fiction texts. I have carefully chosen books that meet a variety of interests that my students have. I know they will help me create great readers out of all of my students. Every reader, despite their level, deserves a good book. Every book needs a home so I have added in a book shelf.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
