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

Our students are an incredible mix of diversity of students with many gifts and talents. "Gifted students represent a vital resource that has unlimited potential. We need to make sure that these exceptional young people have the support and services they need to be successful"(Chuck Grassley). For this reason, I am inspired and motivated. We are an international sensation that most teachers only dream of having in their class. We are from Kazakhstan, Vietnam, Sudan, Syria, Iraq, Somalia, Mexico, and Japan.

My students thrive with rich engaging books that appeal to their passions.

They would love the opportunity to learn about entrepreneurs and how their passions changed the world. We absolutely enjoy exploring innovative people who solve real-world challenges. This is a great way for the students to learn how they can one day be a successful entrepreneurs themselves.

My Project

These economic books will continue to enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create. My economics library is a place that my students really enjoy. They read and complete work there. Every book that is housed in our library is treated with respect, and we are grateful for the opportunities to read. All of these books have been chosen with my students high interest in mind. Students are going to create a research project sparked from the books I have chosen for them. Students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to build proper research skills.

With these new economic books, my students will be able to research about entrepreneurs and their inventions that we still use today.

They will also be able to choose books that interest them. One of the best ways to increase reading comprehension is to choose books that are high interest for readers. This project will only help enrich their experiences with amazing literature.
