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

I teach second grade to a class of brilliant girls in New York City. Many of my students are English language learners and children with special needs. Most qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

All of my students are creative, thoughtful, and eager learners, and much of their knowledge this year has been expressed through their literacy and play.

It has been so exciting to see them fully engaged each day as they learn through collaboration and play with their peers.

I teach 28 bright and beautiful first-graders in a high-needs area of New York. My students and I have been working intensively to get to grade-level proficiency in reading. We set realistic reading goals and are working to make at least one year's growth. They have a goal-setting mindset.

My Project

My students have transformed from struggling readers to kids that crave books. They are so engaged during our reader's workshop time! I want to give them the opportunity to take books home, to create book clubs, and to be able to talk with me during the summer about what they are reading.

My students will have the opportunity to choose books to take home over the summer.

My goal is to create book clubs and to have kids talk about their books in a variety of technological ways. I want to keep the love of reading alive in the summer so that they come back to school in the fall at their current reading level or even higher.

Every child deserves the opportunity to read and to find the love of reading.

You will be able to make this dream a reality by contributing to the purchase of a variety of books that will excite, motivate, and challenge young minds.
