FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Villalobos's classroom raised $557

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

Fifth grade is about finding one's identity and understanding one's self in relation to their peers. My students come from many different backgrounds and cultures. Some of my students are refugees and immigrants. In my class, we have been focusing on understanding our values and learning more about one another in order to create a welcoming community.

My Project

These books will help me develop the cultural-inclusive classroom that I strive to create. They will help in creating and maintaining a community amongst my classroom and school.

Many of students are able to relate to these books, whether it's the child on the cover or the story the author has written.

The chapter books will allow my class for novel study experiences while the picture books can aide in classroom discussions with a digestible text while still reaching grade level standards. Through these variety of texts, I will be helping to build their love for reading different texts.
