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

"Today a reader, tomorrow a leader." -Margaret Fuller

My desire is to instill a lifelong love for books and reading so my students can make a difference in the world.

My students' faces shine with pride when they find high-interest books they relate to and are able to read independently.

I teach 26 active, energetic third graders who range in their academic abilities. All of my students qualify for free or reduced lunch. A majority of my students are English Language Learners, coming from homes that speak a language other than English. Families want more than anything to see their children succeed, but they often lack access to literature and resources. By putting books in my students' hands, I will be able to foster my desire to continually build a Home to School Connection.

My Project

My students, this year and in the upcoming years, will use the durable book boxes to hold their books that they have access to in our classroom library. By this project being funded, my students will be able to be actively engaged in reading instead of searching for books. Everything will be in it's place...organization is crucial! This is why we also are in need of the bookshelf and boxes to store the book boxes.

Having individual book boxes will enable my students to have appropriate leveled books at their fingertips.

This will allow them to spend more time reading instead of looking for suitable books often. The extra time reading will give them opportunities to enhance their reading skills and their love for reading.
