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
This will be my second year teaching at a low-income/high-poverty school. I teach second grade. As heartbreaking as it is, most of my students are faced with many challenges in and out of the classroom.
All of my students deserve to be healthy and happy.
Though I cannot control what happens outside of the classroom, I can certainly control what happens inside. My students come to class feeling loved, supported, and engaged. I have a wide range of students in my classroom. Some students are highly intelligent and some have developmental delays. This does not stop me from providing them the education that they need.
I love all of my students, and they each bring joy to my life as a teacher.
I look forward to building a positive classroom during my second year of teaching.
My Project
My classroom library is lacking books that my students are interested in. They want books about superheros, Disney princesses, and books about animals! My nonfictions section only has about 10 books and all of them are outdated.
Having books with characters that students like will help them want to read more.
2nd grade is so fun because this is where students start to become independent and allowing them freedom to read for pleasure is so important to their learning.
Please help me update my library to give my students more options for independent reading.
More than half of students from low‑income households
