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 all Hispanic. Most of them do not have a computer or other technology at home. They are exposed to violence and socioeconomic limitations like lack of food or resources others take for granted. Our school provides a safe environment away from gangs and other socioeconomic limitations. In my classroom, my students get to dream with the sky as the limit. They've planned future traveling plans, designed their dream homes, and have become celebrated community heroes. The classroom is a safe haven where dreaming big is encouraged. Nothing is impossible when they dream, write, and share their future plans. They will thrive as enthusiastic learners when they are provided with memories that will last a lifetime. They will experience and recollect their memories in a whole new way.
My Project
Our school has received a grant and our students will be receiving new books to read in class. This was such a blessing, as a third grade teacher! I do not have the means to provide a way to organize these books. Organization is so important for a successful independent reading program and classroom library!
With your help, I will be able to organize the books into their different genres!
This will help students easily locate books they are interested in. Having books, at easy access to their fingertips, will encourage independent reading which will increase fluency. Increased fluency means more of my students will be able to reach grade level reading! Having these high interest books will help my students to be curious about the world around them. This is the reason I have requested a set of six sturdy, Heavy-Duty Classroom Bins to keep our books organized all year long.
