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 students are loving, curious, and passionate first graders from an urban community with a diverse student population. They are motivated students who are eager to learn, be successful, and display their creativity in their academic endeavors.

My students thrive in an enriched learning environment where their academic needs call for challenging and higher-level thinking tasks.

The school community is very inviting and nurturing, which creates and fosters a safe and secure environment in which social-emotional care and academic growth is a priority.

My Project

Reading is an essential skill we all learn, and what better way to help learn that skill than through listening and following along to your favorite book! In our class, we want to expose the students to as many books as we can, so we can continue to grow their love of reading. In first grade, we see students make the leap from reading CVC words to reading chapter books and nothing makes my heart happier than to see them so excited about it.

The sight word readers and leveled read alongs will support the students in making that leap, as they are exposed to new words each day.

These new stories will help them reach their reading goals during Reader's Workshop and allow for space to build the love of reading. With the support the stories will give, my students will surely reach their goals and make the leap from small picture books to chapter books, as I hope to create more and more little bookworms each year!
