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.
I teach a class of 22 amazing second graders. They are loving, intelligent, kind, and funny. As of now, our school is closed due to the coronavirus pandemic. It was a sudden closure, where we didn't get to end off our time together in the classroom. I immediately learned how to teach remotely and began distance learning.
Distance learning is not ideal, but we are making the best of the current situation.
It has been difficult for me and my students. Our classroom is our happy place. My students come from diverse backgrounds, and many come from lower income families. Many of my students come from challenging home environments and have limited resources at home. I also have English learners and students with special needs such as autism, ADD, and ADHD. Many of my students do not have basic supplies to help them succeed. The one thing they all have in common is that they are eager to learn. I would like to provide them with the educational resources they need during school closure.
My Project
As a teacher, I strive to teach my students to become readers and lifelong learners. I would like to be able to provide books to my class during distance learning. I would also like to read aloud an engaging book during my Teams lessons during this time away from school. My students need to be able to find books that interest and captivate them. I want them to be hooked on reading from this young age. Unfortunately, they don't have books at home and our public libraries are closed due to the coronavirus.
By providing books that children love, I will be able to develop a love of reading in my students.
National Geographic Readers are the books that my students love. These books are always chosen during read to self or read with a friend. They like to read about animals and science. I would like to get enough of the books for all of my students to be able to enjoy while they are home. It is my goal to get books into the hands of children during school closures. Thank you for your support with helping my students become lifelong readers!
