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.
My Students
Do you remember that first series of books you read as a child? Think of the anticipation and excitement you felt waiting for and then finally reading the prized next installment in your favorite series. My students share that excitement and joy of waiting for and then finally devouring the newest books in their favorite series.
Students at my school are inquisitive, compassionate, and creative.
As English language learners, books are so important to my students and they help them better understand this new exciting world. I am a 1st grade teacher in an impoverished urban area. Our classroom library is an essential resource for my students. Many of my students do not have access to books at home and rely on my classroom library to read high-quality books. Each day students inquire when the newest books by their favorite authors will be added to the library and if they can be first to read these books. There is a buzz about books and an excitement for reading in my class. I want to do everything in my power to develop the next generation of enthusiastic readers!
My Project
These books will continue to enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create. My classroom library is a place that my students really enjoy-I read on the carpet to them, they complete work there, and they read independently! Every student book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunities to read. All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind-I have watched them the past few weeks of school read titles just like these, and I have also asked them what type of books they would enjoy reading. Students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading time.
The best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and these books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading.
My students already have shown an astonishing interest in independent reading, and this project will only help enrich their experiences with the printed word.
