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 school subscribes to a holistic view of our students and employ an integrated focus on academics, socio-emotional supports, and family engagement activities that lead not only to improved student learning, but also to stronger families and healthier communities. My students come from multicultural backgrounds and the majority speak Spanish and Cantonese. Over 60% of my students are designated English Language Learners and 100% of my students receive free or reduced-price lunch. All of my students have special needs. My students come with a wide variance in academic proficiency, as well as mastery of the socio-emotional skills critical for school success.

Even though my students have challenging disabilities, they bring with them immense resilience, dedication, and of course, a sense of humor.

These students inspire me to teach every day, and I could not be happier with school and students that I serve.

My Project

My classroom is made up of 100% students of color who come from low income communities. All my students have special needs so reading has been a difficult journey for most of them. One of the best ways to increase student reading levels is to practice reading as much as possible. Unfortunately, most of my books have been donated by previous teachers so they are outdated, irrelevant, and tattered.

My students deserve quality books with characters that represent them.

With these new titles, my students will be able to choose from a variety of books that will allow them to read independently at their own grade level. It is important that I give my students access to new and engaging books to increase excitement for reading and decrease frustration.
