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

One of the best insights into a culture is through their literature and interpretation of fairy tales. Reading these variations will allow my students to take a trip around the world through the eyes of beloved fairy tale characters.

I work in a low income school district, where my students face many obstacles on their path to success in school.

One of the biggest obstacles is the lack of resources for the class. While we work hard to make sure we have enough supplies for students, sufficient books to expand reading is often very limited.

My Project

My students have a complete fascination with cultures around the world and they love researching and writing reports about what they've learned. For our next unit, I want to provide them with a collection of variant fairy tales. They'll be able to research the culture that the fairy tale comes from, trace the differences between different tales, and finally construct their own fairy tale to publish and share with the school! We'll be able to incorporate Social Studies, Reading and Writing into this thematic unit, giving us lots of time to read, write, and research the multiple questions they have. Being able to write and publish their own book will be a great culminating activity that will be something the students will be able to show off with pride.

Your generous donation will create hours of extended learning for my students by giving them the resources they need to begin this project.

By giving them access to the fairy tales, they'll be inspired to read and write about the culture the tale comes from. You'll also be helping them on the path to creating their own lasting treasure - a book we'll publish of their own fairy tale variations!
