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 Project

I love reading and I want to share that love with my students. They are looking for a wide variety of books and I want to provide that for them. My students are looking for high-interest books that they can access and read.

This year I have many students all reading at different levels.

I have noticed that the majority of books in Spanish tend to not interest my students. They are looking for chapter books that are exciting and entertaining! This will help give them the confidence to practice reading daily. In turn, this will help them become stronger readers.

We have worked together to select a wide range of chapter books and picture books that my students have taken an interest in. We need books that they can utilize during independent reading to practice literacy techniques in Spanish.

Having an organized classroom will provide my students with clear transitions, and clear expectations and they will focus on the learning aspect which is essential for creating enriching routines and habits this is why they need the chair packets. Also, I noticed that my students don't have access to quality headphones and those are very important for testing, research, reading, and more.

My students will also benefit from a large table that allows them to work together, create projects as a class, and replace the damaged and uneven desks that my students have that make their group work and projects difficult to complete.

Your donation will help not just one classroom but will be utilized by my students year after year. By donating to this proposal you can help build a library for students who otherwise would not have access to such great books and materials at their fingertips.
