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.
Our students have an extended school day and an extended school year. They are taught the Common Core standards through a vigorous and rounded curriculum. Every student takes math, science, English, history, physical education, and enrichment. Students participate in a variety of extracurricular opportunities and events throughout the year, including clubs. Moreover, the majority of our students attend our after-school program to get homework help and tutoring.
Our students come to school in an open and caring environment.
We celebrate learning and success in our school. They are so eager to come to school every day. I just want them to get what they came for--an excellent education!
My Project
As a middle school teacher, I aim to inspire students to become lifelong readers. I share my passion for reading and how books have transformed my life. This donation will turn our limited classroom library into a reading buffet. My students' brains will water as they discover the many delicious options. Certainly, they will want to try it all! Reading reminds my students that they are scholars.
As they read, they will acquire new vocabulary enabling them to express themselves confidently in their second language (orally and through writing).
As they become more proficient in English, they will be able to think more critically about what they read and evaluate literature at a higher level. This project will help my students go from good to great academically and personally. I want all my students, including English Language Learners and Special Education to be proficient or advanced in English. Knowledge is power!
