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

Imagine you are a small child, age four or five. You are coming to school for the very first time. Everything is new, unfamiliar and you are uncertain. Now imagine you cannot understand the language your teachers are speaking.

These are my students.

They are considered "at-risk" due to low family income and low levels of parental education, among other factors. They are English Language Learners. They are also bright, happy children who love coming to school and are incredibly eager to learn. And for me, they are my inspiration! I want to give them to absolute best possible start to their formal education by not only instilling a love of learning and school in a respectful, child-centered classroom, but also by providing quality, research-based early literacy experiences that will give them the opportunity to be lifelong readers, thinkers and learners.

My Project

We are requesting sets of books in English and Spanish. My students are away from school for an extended period during the Corona virus pandemic. At home, my students lack books to read with their families. Most of my parents do not speak English, and many are not comfortable reading books in English with their children.

Providing bilingual books for families will allow parents to read with their children at home.

It will help develop early literacy skills and give students the opportunity to practice the skills we have developed at school. A home library helps to build a love of books and reading that can provide motivation to read and be the foundation of a lifelong desire to read and learn.
