Celebrating 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
I'm excited to begin the 2021-2022 School Year! My students come from 100% free lunch program. The demographics include about 75% Latino students and 24% African Students with 1% white, non-hispanic. About 32% of the students are in foster care or being raised by their grandparent or another relative.
My Project
As a student, my 2nd grade teacher exposed me to Scholastic Magazines. Because of the vivid print, simple explanations and vocabulary reinforced in all of the Scholastic articles, that printed material helped me understand many educational concepts, that were confusing to me.
As a result, I learned to love reading and looked forward to receiving the magazines, each month.
I would take them home to share with my family and would save each copy to play "pretend teacher" with my younger sibling.
I too, want to give my students that same opportunity for them. We appreciate your consideration.
