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 Project

One of the things I do is show students different resources to enhance their reading and writing skills. I love that my students are getting more excited about reading this year; especially because they are learning that they have a choice in what they read. I want them to have access to books that interest them and provide knowledge and understanding of other cultures that are different from their own while also providing appropriate materials.

Analyzing and discussing these experiences as a class will help students develop empathy and perspective, as well as make connections between texts that we have already read.

When students are interested in what they read, they become more engaged in their learning. That is my goal as an educator: to explore and engage students in the many adventures of reading in order to apply and learn essential skills. Not only will they gain perspectives and experiences from reading these books, but students will also gain important collaboration skills through learning how to positively participate with their group and practice effective speaking and listening skills.
