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 3rd students come from many diverse backgrounds, with more than 80 percent speaking English as a second language. My students speak a variety of languages at home, including Spanish, Arabic, Tongan, Burmese, Somali, Vietnamese, and more! 100% of my students receive free lunch and are met with unique challenges of living in poverty on a daily basis. Despite these hardships, these children work hard to overcome these challenges and learn. The current pandemic is a new challenge that we are learning to overcome together.

These children are happy, loving, hard-working, inquisitive, creative, eager to learn, and excited to be at school.

My Project

The reading levels of my 3rd grade student vary widely. While I have many books for on-grade level readers, those books don't reach my students who are still learning literacy skills.

Decodable readers will provide ALL of my students with access to reading materials on their level.

It is my hope that having books on their level will help increase their love of reading and literacy.

These materials will be used for students to read in class, to check-out and read at home, and to facilitate small group instruction with me during small groups.
