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 we have to leave?" Our students are funny, compassionate, and imaginative children that enjoy exploring new skills and developing their literacy skills. They are predominantly English Language Learners (ELLs) and attend an elementary school in the Kensington section of northern Philadelphia.
The room buzzes throughout the day as they laugh, sing, and share with their peers.
They are a thoughtful, loving, and hardworking bunch, excited to learn and grow. While they are motivated by their dreams and engaged by the opportunities presented to them, due to economic challenges within the community, school, and district, our resources are limited. As their teacher, I struggle to provide sufficient and enriching supplies that will support small group learning. However, at our school, we are resourceful and do with what we have, but our students deserve and require more.
My Project
Philadelphia is currently partnering with organizations across the city in an effort to get more students on reading level by the fourth grade. What better way to get students on board than to provide quality books to engage them?
The goal is not simply to address the need for all of our students on their appropriate reading level, but more so to develop a love for reading.
These book sets will be used during the independent reading portion of the day. Students will be able to select from classic grade level appropriate chapter books, which I hope, will further develop their interest in reading.
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
