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

Do you like to travel to learn about other cultures, or perhaps read books or newspapers about our world? My students would love the opportunity to discover the world and now is the perfect time!

I am an inner city kindergarten teacher in Illinois.

I am privileged because my students are enthusiastic and eager learners that are excited to learn new things. However, many of them have limited experiences and I would love to provide an opportunity to open the window to learning through the knowledge provided by the magazine. When discussing world events, I found that many of my students were not aware of events and cultures outside of their own. My students need additional help learning about the world outside of their neighborhoods and school community. Scholastic, Let's Find Out, magazine will give them a broad range of reading on themes such as cultures, seasons, good character, and animals. They can even take the weekly magazines home and share it with their families!

My Project

To ensure I can provide student's an opportunity to a well informed education that makes them aware of what is happening around them, I need assistance with resources. I am requesting for my students a subscription to Scholastic, Let's Find Out, magazine which will provide an engaging magazine with a focus on seasons, animals, and other cultures. A writing stations that will allow students' to practice writing about what they have learned from the magazines using different writing styles such as informative and opinion writing. The writing stations and magazine subscription will allow me to effectively build on skills being taught and expose students' to the world around us in a fun, educational, and organized way which will motivate the students to read even more. Each student will have the magazine to use during small group and independent time and will utilize the magazine to reinforce skills such as reading, graphing, adding/subtracting, habitats, communities, and much more!

My students will really appreciate and benefit from the magazines and writing stations.

They will have a new love for reading non-fiction and a new love and respect for our world and other cultures. The students' are our future. By helping the students' learn about our world through magazines and being able to write about it using the writing stations, you are helping them have a desire to maybe one day become leaders of our world.
