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

Every day is an exciting adventure being in a 4th grade classroom! I currently have 28 students in my class. Nineteen of my students are ENL learners. I co-teach with an ENL teacher for 90 minutes a day. Our classroom is grouped according to needs for all academic areas. We work together to help each child reach their potential in a warm and comforting environment. My students love to come to reading groups and truly benefit from visual aids in all areas. They come to school excited to learn and take pride in their accomplishments. Many of my students speak Spanish at home and come from countries such as Honduras, El Salvador, Columbia, and Guatemala. It's exciting to see them blossom from month to month. I have the best job in the world!

My Project

Reading, reading, reading! Seeing my students' love of reading is a breath of fresh air. I chose sets of books for my students so that they can reciprocal read. They read, collaborate, and share by discussing their predictions, questions, visualizations, clarifications, and summaries with each other each day. My students get excited to read and I'd like to give them books to further motivate them to enjoy reading.

My students are highly motivated readers and can't wait to open a book each day.

Reading is a precious time of the day in my class and I want them to continue to look forward to this time in our class.
