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
We teach a diverse group of 4th graders from urban centers in the Bronx. All of the students in our school work hard to to uphold our Core Values. My class in particular, has really shown interest in making big strides in their education this year and are committed to being STEADFAST in sticking to their goals. In our classroom rules the first thing they agreed on was to never give up. They are resilient and brave.
One of our favorite things to do as a class is to discuss how characters change throughout the stories we read.
We pose questions that make the children think and look at situations from out side of themselves. Some of the connections they make to the readings are well beyond their years and that is a skill we love supporting.
All of our student's families want better educational opportunities for their kids. Unfortunately, their resources are not always readily available to help foster a productive learning experience. It takes a village to raise responsible citizens so please consider becoming literacy allies as we focus on a successful year!
My Project
Being a teacher in the Bronx you really notice educational inequities that exist. Not only do we want our students to have varied texts to discuss character traits, themes and main ideas we want them to be able to bridge what they read to lessons they learned in school through another persons perspective.
New books for our students can be hard to come by.
My co-teacher and I want to surprise our students with a host of new titles for them to enjoy in class and at home.
My students are really excited to improve their reading skills this year. Being an ICT class can be challenging for my co-teacher and I. We have a wide range of leveled reading learners this year and want to provide challenging texts that promote curiosity and support a love of reading. Our goal is to get an appropriate leveled book in the hands of every student. Our children are thirsty for knowledge and they come ready to learn everyday. Help us fan the fires of curiosity!
