Let's Read!

My students need books that are appeal to the adolescent mind and heart. It is wonderful to see a teenager absorbed in a book of their choice.

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

My students come from very diverse backgrounds and love learning through experiences. Although they speak a variety of languages they are able to work well in groups and I have seen them accomplish great things! They are great at working in groups and like to discuss books they are reading. We have also found independent reading a positive way to improve students acquisition of English and their hunger for books never ends. My students are excited to learn and love becoming engrossed in books that they can learn from.

My Project

This project is all about helping students fall in love with reading. By providing my students with books that interest them, they will be able to become more interested in reading, both in school and for pleasure. This will help them develop their vocabulary and fluency in reading and writing in English. My students are interested in everything from vampires and astronomy, to first love and the immigrant experience. Our independent reading project allows students to choose their own book, explore genres, and define themselves as readers. This is a great opportunity for our students to grow academically and personally.
