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 25 awesome third through fifth-grade diverse learning students in a great Chicago Public School. Our neighborhood school is located in southwest Chicago, in a working-class community. The majority of my students come from minority families, who at the present time are struggling financially.

My group of children is a happy and friendly bunch who are eager to come to school and learn.

For many parents, the ability to purchase books is not possible.

Checking out a book from a local library seldom happens due to parents working late hours to make ends meet, or not feeling secure enough to allow your child to walk to the library. Sadly, those days are gone.

My Project

I work with a wonderful group of non - English readers that want to learn in English but struggle with fitting in the American classroom. By giving my stunts access to the latest graphic novels, they will be able to participate in conversations with their peers about characters, jokes, and more important events that have taken in the story.

Graphic Novels are the latest American craze!

By having these books in the classroom the students would be able to fit in and improve their reading. They will be able to read at home, and when academically ready transfer their knowledge to the English novel. What a great way to make that transition, then with a novel you enjoy.
