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 am transitioning from kindergarten to teaching English language learners in 3rd through 5th grade. The students I will teach are very limited in their ability to speak, read and write English. Despite that huge obstacle, these students are very motivated to learn.
These eager students never let challenges get them down.
They keep an upbeat, can-do attitude despite these trials.
My Project
These high interest, easy to read news and science magazines will help motivate my students who are learning to read English. The colorful kid-friendly photographs, exciting topics and easy to read text will encourage my students to become fluent readers.
Kids need fun, engaging reading material that is rewarding to read.
My students typically have had many experiences reading books, by the time they reach third grade, but lack experiences with other reading materials. I can use these magazines to teach non-fiction text features, like headings, subheadings, main ideas, supporting details.
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
