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
Our students come from low socio-economic homes and are battling various experiences and traumas. We are a Title l school where we do everything we can do give our students the basics, things they need at home, and extras to supplement their learning.
Our scholars love coming to school and broadening their learning and experiences!
Though this is a amazing community, we will not be able to give the students a little bit extra! Please help us help them and end the year off strong!
My Project
Recently, we had to engage in a nonfiction project for our scholars. They were really excited to learn about other places in the world. However, the project was a struggle since the books we have are either based on animals or too high for the students to comprehend. With the current pandemic, our scholars have made so much progress but they did not come in on a second grade level. As a result, some of the books are just still to high for them to read. With this series, every child would be able to read, understand, and have the opportunity to reach their maximum potential.
Help me meet my scholars where they are while acquiring new knowledge they need!
We also have a scholar who did not like to read, but once he found Henry and Mudge, his whole attitude towards reading changed. He wants to read the books and write about them as well! However, we have a limited amount of Henry and Mudge books in our library.
Another scholar has recently jumped to a level where he can now read chapter books and really enjoys mysteries. Cam Jansen is fascinating to him and we want him to continue advancing his reading abilities and love for reading!
Finally, our new reality includes having wipes that disinfect. As more and more kids return to school and our classroom sizes increase, we also have to increase our need for wipes!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
