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
My students can be described in one word: amazing. They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. Truly, they are my inspiration! These kids come from some very difficult home lives. The students at my school generally come from low-income families. The circumstances of these students can lead to poor reading scores.
My Project
I am excited to build this classroom library. I will be teaching 4th grade and I would like to have books available to meet the needs of students at all levels of learning.
I believe its important to have access to great quality books students can related to.
These books support diversity and represent my students. They cover a variety of backgrounds, cultures and beliefs, races and traditions.
I will be working with students with a variety of learning needs and hope to create a classroom library for everyone in our classroom community. Students need a diverse classroom library to excite them about reading. Studies show that students with high-quality classroom libraries will read at rates of 50 to 60 percent more than students with less access. In order to encourage reading and literary development, my project seeks to create an interesting and educational classroom library.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
