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 Project

Please help me give my wonderful group of 5th graders new books for book club! As the year progresses, I always run out of book sets for my students to use for book club. These books would definitely take care of this problem.

During book clubs, students meet in small, heterogeneous groups to discuss a book that they have all read or listened to.

Through sharing their thinking, they build a richer understanding than any one student could gain from independent reading alone.

Books clubs are great because they also deepen readers' appreciation and understanding of a common text, extend students' thinking as they process and interpret the perspectives and opinions of their peers. Lastly, book clubs expand students' ability to express their ideas orally using academic language.
