FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Torres's classroom raised $177
This project is fully funded
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
I teach 25 awesome third through fifth-grade diverse learning students in a great Chicago Public School. Our neighborhood school is located in southwest Chicago, in a working-class community. The majority of my students come from minority families, who at the present time are struggling financially.
My group of children is a happy and friendly bunch who are eager to come to school and learn.
For many parents, the ability to purchase books is not possible.
Checking out a book from a local library seldom happens due to parents working late hours to make ends meet, or not feeling secure enough to allow your child to walk to the library. Sadly, those days are gone.
My Project
I plan on using the Flat Stanley class set as a wonderful and fun way to introduce my kiddies to chapter books. Of course, we will be reading and discussing the novel in class, but I can't wait for them to write. I plan on having them write a letter to a family member asking them to take care of and host Flat Stanley for a few days.
We will ask them to take pictures of the fun adventures they have had and share them in our writing with the class.
Oh, maybe even a google slide show to share all the wonderful adventures that took place.
Nearly all 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
