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 are curious, playful, energetic, and excited, yet they are nervous about 8th grade and doing well academically so they can get admitted into a selective enrollment high school. Because many of my kids have had a sibling with me before, they know my expectations for them. They do their best to give 100% academically but sometimes it is hard when they have responsibilities at home like taking care of younger siblings while parents are working or cooking the meals until mom gets home. Some are being harassed by gang members to join them.
My Project
My 8th grade kids love to read, sketch and act out scenes or lines from their favorite books with their friends so what better way to encourage my reluctant readers than to entice them with art and drama activities which require them to read books in order to participate? Help me make it possible to put more independent readers on the road to becoming life-long readers! I need all the help and 'village' I can get to make this possible now and for many more 8th graders to come! We need books and art supplies like colored pencils and sketch pads. Reading using art and drama is a wonderful way to get those non-readers to join the bandwagon, so please make a contribution to our project.
