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 22 first-graders from a large, urban community that welcomes families from all over the globe. We are a Title I school in a low-income community. Free breakfast and free lunch are available to every child in our building each day, who are now served remotely. My students and I have taken on distance learning with determinations, consistency, and perseverance.
My students are creative, clever, and very enthusiastic about learning.
But most of my students are lacking even the most basic materials to be able to successfully learn at home. While we continue living in such unpredictable times. I never imagined that when I packed up my students for two weeks of distance learning we wouldn’t finish the school year together. It is still uncertain if we will be able to start this coming school year together.
My Project
We are an early start school so that students have time to eat a complete breakfast. During breakfast time students enjoy listening to an engaging read aloud from authors whom they know and love. This project will provide us with a great variety of stories to read from and will keep our breakfast tradition alive, whether or not we return to school in the fall.
Keeping a routine is important for many of my students especially when we are not able to be together in the classroom.
This project will allow us to begin our day together doing what we love, reading.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
