it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students
This year my students are a special resilient group. They have not been in a classroom for almost 5 months and are eager to come back to school! Despite the new normal for school, which is online learning, they always show up to our morning virtual meeting excited to learn. Soon, we will be coming back and they cannot wait to have an amazing time in 1st grade.
My Project
In first grade students have the demanding task to learn to read. This is a crucial time in lives of children that will shape the way they view and feel about reading for the rest of their lives.
It is important for students to develop an interest and love for reading which will impact their success in all other subject areas.
To excite an interest in reading students will choose a reading buddy (plush book character) to sit with and read together. Students will sit and read in the new stools that will double up as storage for the new plush characters. Students will want to practice reading with their buddy and new stoold and continue to develop reading skills.
In addition, the lamination sheets and page protectors will be used to create interactive and engaging reading centers which help students develop reading skills.
