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
My students are a group of fifth graders that attend a Title I school in a Texas school district.
They are made up from a diverse set of backgrounds and include English language learners, special education students, and those receiving free or reduced-price lunches.
While they come from various backgrounds with various needs, they enjoy engaging and interacting with one another in their learning. Most importantly of all, my students love coming to school, learning, and being in fifth grade.
My Project
We are looking forward to reading "Freak the Mighty" this year as a class. This book has a powerful message and plot that my students will be enamored with as readers. It's an ideal book choice to share with my students as I try to instill a love of reading in them.
Help me put great books in my students' hands so they can grow as readers.
"Freak the Mighty" will initiate deep and meaningful discussions among my students, enhancing their comprehension skills. We need amazing books like this in order to engage students in their learning. Great books in students' hands leads to more earnest readers for life.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
