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 a bunch of smiling, enthusiastic and eager kindergarteners. All of them live in a low socio-economic area and are children of recent immigrants. Although they come to my class with little knowledge of English at the beginning of the year, they put a lot of effort to learn the language.

My students are very bright and energetic!

They love coming to school to learn! Despite what happens in their homes and personal lives, they are able to find peace and safety in our classroom.

My Project

Ever since I read the book "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus," my students have asked me to read more and more books by Mo Willems! I started borrowing some books from the local library and looking them up on YouTube. I ended up purchasing a few of them for our classroom library. The students loved the books so much that they are now worn out and falling apart.

It's so gratifying to see my kids developing a love for reading - to see them using their knowledge of phonemic awareness to read the words and smiling at the sentences read.

I would like to surprise my kids with a collection of books by the author. Not only are the books by Mo Willems entertaining, but they also teach you how to be good friends (i.e., the Elephant and Piggie series).

These books will be placed in the classroom library and the students will have the freedom to take them home to enjoy the art of reading.
