Celebrating 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
Dominican, Mexican, Puerto Rican, Ecuadorian, of various other Hispanic origins, and first generation Americans describes 90% of my students. My students enter my class full of energy and excitement. Having come to the United States with their families hopeful of a better life and dependent on a great education to secure a brighter future and fulfill their American Dream.
My students embrace the challenges of learning to read, and the greatest reward is seeing the excitement on their faces when they realize the progress they are making.
Having no one at home to practice English and reading with makes the time my students spend in my class extremely valuable. Literacy is a skill my students will have forever and it will help pave the way to a brighter future for them and their families.
My Project
My students need a place to read, to explore, and to simply get lost in a fantastic book. Literacy is arguably the most important skill, yet contrary to other skills such as spoken language, reading is not innate and must be learned. Statistically, one in five students struggle with reading and even those who it comes easily for, often don't take initiative to read on their own. Why is that?
I believe it is because there is no inviting place at my school for students to read; this is project will change that.
Help us create a fun, safe, warm, and comfortable reading nook.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
