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 24 eager learners live in a large urban community surrounded by multi-leveled apartment buildings. Most of my students live with multiple families in these single residence dwellings. Our school is part of the nationwide free breakfast and lunch program because over 60% of the student population fall within the low income bracket. Many of my students have not had much exposure to books and literature prior to entering school. Since learning to read basic sight words, they have shown so much desire to read aloud!

My Project

After experiencing a fun and exciting week of celebrating Dr. Seuss, my students have shown a great desire to read Dr. Seuss books. Since my 1st grades are just beginning to read, I would love for them to enjoy reading and have taken a liking to Dr. Seuss because of the fun and creative use of rhyming words in his books. However, due to the limited resources students only have access to a few of my own personal books.

I am asking for a set of Dr. Seuss books so that students can use in class and/or take home and share the love of reading with friends and family.

Dr. Seuss books have become a hit in my class, and I would love for my students to continue the love of reading, and read as many as they could over and over again!
