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

Introduction:

In education, fostering a welcoming atmosphere is the first step in creating an inviting space.

I'm on a mission to turn my middle school classroom into a haven for reading and learning, where students feel at home.

The Vision:

Imagine a classroom resembling a cozy coffee shop. It features an array of tables and chairs, strategically placed near windows to invite natural light. A charming bookshelf stands prominently, showcasing a diverse range of books. This setup exudes cleanliness and warmth, celebrating the uniqueness of every individual.

Catering to Diverse Needs:

We've formed a dedicated team to provide targeted reading interventions and support for small groups, focusing on students with Lexile levels ranging from 300 to 500.

Empowering Students:

For advanced readers, our focus shifts towards enhancing their writing skills through creative projects like crafting their own books and poems.

Meeting Language Demands Goals:

We prioritize lesson planning, incorporating scaffolds and language translations to aid English learners' comprehension. Visual supports, like word bank charts and phrase starters, are key.

Commitment to Ongoing Improvement:

We regularly review assignments and provide constructive feedback to students. For students with IEPs, we create or adapt assignments based on their specific goals.

Conclusion:

With your support, we can enhance the literacy environment in my classroom, cultivating positive relationships, empowering student voice and choice, and adapting the physical classroom environment. Your contribution will help create an inclusive and engaging learning space where every student can thrive, inspiring a love for reading and learning that will last a lifetime.

Thank you for considering our project and for your dedication to our students' education.
