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'm a teacher in an elementary public school. I serve students with different disabilities in a fourth/fifth grade-level classroom. My students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking for creative and simple ways to foster independence, kindness, and meaningful learning experiences for all of them.
My students come to school eager to learn, they are kind, and talented in many ways.
They like to move, they love lots of positive attention and praise, and they like to learn new information. They all receive a free breakfast and lunch based on their socioeconomic status. These things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as "typical". By meeting their needs in a creative and positive way, I am hopeful to help them even more!
My Project
I want to offer my students a wide variety of high-interest reading material to promote reading and love for books. I have books in my classroom library but my students' interest seems to be inclined towards action, comedy, and and super heroes.
My students struggle with reading and are reluctant to read however, they get excited about books when they get a chance to access graphic novels, comic books, and material that looks less intimidating than a traditional book.
Your donation will help my students start developing love for reading and the habit of having a book with them. Also, your donation will help them feel more confident and hopefully with time they will start picking different chapter books as well as all different kids of books, how exciting!
