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
I teach 12, sometimes 13, special needs students in a Title I school on the Lower East Side. All of my students have different levels of disabilities that need to be taught using differentiated teaching.
All of my wonderful students have the desire to learn just like their general education peers.
They try hard on a daily basis and want to do well educationally, emotionally and behaviorally. They celebrate their successes and know when they need extra support to help meet their needs.
My Project
My students have been learning how to love reading. They have read every book in their leveled bin so much they have memorized each book. During shared reading, they have been learning various strategies to read independently. During small group, we go a little bit deeper; however, they are tired of the same old books.
Its time for new and improved books for my students to read during independent reading and at home.
I want my students to get as close to grade level in reading as they possibly can and having more books for them to read is the answer.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
