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
My class is an energetic, excited, and overwhelmingly enthusiastic group of Kindergartners. They love coming to school and interacting with their peers and teachers. They are a funny, dedicated, and inquisitive group of students who run into the classroom and don't want to leave! They are four and five-year-old students who need lessons and activities to keep them engaged in learning. Our school is a new school with pre-kindergarten through second-grade students. Our school has a high population of English Language Learners, Special Education students, and students from various cultural backgrounds. Our students need a high level of support for them to learn at their best.
My Project
As a teacher in a public school in the Bronx, I am looking to add some diversity to my classroom library. Not many of the books we have show children or characters that look like the children that are in my class. I would love to provide that for them.
Most of my students are minorities but I have very few books with minority children in them.
I would love to be able to change that for my students. This project will help me diversify my library and provide my young students with books with characters that look like them. I would love to provide that for them and begin to foster a lifetime love of reading! It's hard for kids to connect to stories that have nothing to do with their lives. Making connections while reading greatly improves their reading comprehension.
