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 are an amazing group of active learners! They come to school eager to learn with unique modalities and absorb information from their learning experiences in the classroom, connections they make to real-world experiences, and pro-social relationships they develop with their peers.

These dynamic students are inquisitive and developing young problem-solvers relating to their learning environment in collaboration with their peers.

My students are all English Language Learners of various levels. They participate in a daily Reading Foundations Intervention Academies and benefit from many opportunities of rigorous academic discussion with strong language support throughout the day. One thing I love about my students is their constant thirst for knowledge and discovery!

My Project

Many of my students do not know about current events, Wonders of the World or stories of heroism and compassion beyond what is broadcasted on television or online. I would like to incorporate a reliable educational resource into my curriculum for my students to have at their fingertips to use as a springboard for research and reporting.

Help make my students' journey into civics and social science enjoyable, interactive and researched-based!

My students will not only learn about current events; when using Time Life for Kids Magazine, in combination of collected social studies resources over the years, students will further their reading fluency, comprehension, grammar and understanding of how to use information from a reputable nonfiction data source. They will truly be reading to learn!
