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

I teach 27 in-person English Language Learners. This year has been really tough for us all with the pandemic, but they've been making the most of it! My students are goofy, creative, kind, and intelligent, and I'm looking forward to watching them blossom and grow!

My Project

Growing a love of reading can be challenging, but very rewarding! My students are all English Language Learners and learning how to thrive in a second language. As a first-year teacher with a love of reading and writing, I am passionate about helping my students to gain that same love and ability to express themselves.

Reading opens up a variety of worlds, adventures, and possibilities for every student!

I am requesting several books and chairs to help provide my students with a comfortable place to explore those literary worlds. I hope to encourage them as they master their second language, and move on to bigger and better things!
