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

I teach a class of 4th grade students who started the year as "ambivalent" readers. By keeping a constant supply of incredible books in the classroom, they are turning into committed and involved readers.

My students attend an urban school with a majority of low income students.

I also teach a majority of students who speak two languages and are English Language Learners. They are beginning to love to read and they like to find their favorite books and share them with them friends.

My Project

Having a well-stocked classroom library is critical to supporting my students' love of reading. With 30 students, all at different reading levels, I need to constantly have different kinds of books to keep them motivated to read. Some students love nonfiction and have read every science book in the classroom. Some students love mysteries and always ask for more. I have requested a wide variety of books to help me have a classroom library that helps keep their imagination soaring.

When 4th graders develop a steady and consistent reading habit, their educational path shifts onto a successful course.

Students who don't read on their own have a difficult time meeting the educational challenges that lay ahead. Providing these valuable resources for them now provides a solid foundation for their entire lives.
