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.
I am a 6th grade Language Arts teacher. I am also a Subject Area Leader for Language Arts at my school. I teach two courses: reading and writing literacy block. I work in a very diverse school and teach students with various reading and writing levels. Many students come from a high-need community.
Many of the children in our school have limited resources. Our school is struggling to reach the requirements in reading and writing set forth by No Child Left Behind. Many students have showed an interest in observing and analyzing fairytales and folktales. In addition they will be writing and publishing their own original fairytale picture books. They will need to examine the characteristics of fairytales written by renowned authors in order to write their own stories.
Throughout the course of this year, students have been reading and writing in different genres. In the upcoming month, students will have an intense genre study unit on fairytales and folktales, where they will analyze and compose their own original stories! In order to teach this unit, I have to have students examine a variety of picture books. I have exhausted the supplies at the school, and town libraries. However, there are just not enough books for my 75 students.
Your support will help the teachers in our school to teach the students about the the different genre of fairytales and folktales. Growing up, many students have not had the opportunity to read picture books, or have books read to them. With this set of picture books, students will now have the opportunity, that they might not have had as a child. Reading these books will allow my students to share their experience with their younger brothers, sisters, and other youngsters they encounter in the years to come. Please help my students experience this love of reading!
