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 fifth-grade students are amazing with unlimited potential, but limited resources to fully explore their ideas. The students come from low-income homes where for some, they only interact with educational items at school. Our entire school receives free breakfast and lunch,
My students have a genuine love for learning.
They love to come in early and stay late to help and learn. I want to be able to nurture that love before it is lost. Every year I have the pleasure of teaching students from varying abilities, from highly gifted learners to special needs students, but they all bring the same thing to my class: the love of learning and the eagerness to do their best. Being a person with a disability myself, I want to show them that anyone can be successful regardless of their limitations. I want to fulfill my duty and give them every opportunity they deserve.
My Project
I teach science and math in my 5th grade classroom. There are times when students finish assignments and they have a little bit of extra time before we start the next lesson. I often remind them that they have a reading goal they have to meet for their ELA teachers that also requires them to read nonfiction books, but for one reason or another they don't have a book on hand to read. Whether it be they forgot a book at home, in the other class, or the most common reason, they don't have the desire to read. This nonfiction graphic novel books will provide an easier entry into reading for my students as well as provide vital information they can use during class conversations and activities.
I want to give my students books that will engage them and also teach them in a captivating way.
I selected a wide range of books that would cover the whole STEM spectrum and show students that reading and learning can be fun and exciting.
