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 are the most amazing kiddos! They are bright, energetic and curious. As a teacher in a high poverty and high mobility school, my students are faced with challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, they show up with smiles on their faces and are ready to learn.

We are a kindergarten to fifth grade, Title I elementary school with about 450 students.

All students receive free breakfast and lunch. We are a proactive school with several before and after-school tutoring and community outreach programs. Our students' families struggle financially, but everyone is dedicated to helping our parents provide for their children.

The educators and support staff are amazing in their dedication and determination to make a difference in the lives of our students. Our goal is to give each student the very best education and the best support possible at all times. We will not fail in our mission, and our students share our determination to succeed!

My Project

Some of my students come from challenging backgrounds and low income homes. Reading and listening to audio books like Grump in my project is a great way for them to escape to a world of adventure, while learning how to persevere through challenges in life and learn how to discover their strengths and use them to their benefit and others.

Some of the families cannot afford to purchase books that will build their comprehension abilities and life skills; it is very important to me that my students develop the skills they need to function well in our society.

The book Grump will allow them to explore themes of belonging, friendship, and doing the right thing.

With books like this one my students will be able to achieve lifelong success by building vocabulary, comprehension and fluency skills while enjoying escapades from characters who are a lot like them.

The book that I have in this project will be a fantastic fit to encourage and equip my students on the power of good relationships and doing the right thing.
