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 Students

My students love to read novels. Having a class set of "Because of Winn Dixie" would allow us the opportunity to share this award winning book together.

My students are in a suburban school district with very tight resources.

I have a wonderful class of gifted third graders students who love to devour books. Pairing the students up with this book will encourage classroom conversation as well as provide quality literature to reinforce reading skills taught.

My Project

The students in my third grade class will use "Because of Winn Dixie" as a read-aloud. We will take turns reading and sometimes listen to the CD of "Because of Winn Dixie" where a professional reader models reading fluency. Reading fluency aids in reading comprehension.

With so much emphasis on state wide reading comprehension tests, having materials for a read-aloud will give students a relaxing activity to share together in preparation for these tests.
