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 work in the South Bronx at a 3-K to 8th grade school, where 99% of the students qualify for free lunch. They attend school regularly and exhibit a willingness to learn despite their circumstances.

My students live and attend school in one of the poorest congressional districts in the United States.

They appreciate all the help that they can get. It is difficult for them to bring classroom supplies, let alone help with the extra things we need in class. They are thankful for all that they receive and show their appreciation in words and their work.

My Project

These resources are necessary due to the fact that most of my students start the school year without any school supplies. The composition notebooks will be used as readers' and writers' notebooks. The reader's notebook is an integral part of the reading workshop and is a great tool for authentic assessment. It goes hand-in-hand with read-aloud with accountable talk and will really be powerful if students learn to talk deeply in preparation for writing. The main reason for a reader's notebook, in my opinion, is to deepen my students' ability to think, talk, and write about their reading. The writer's notebook will allow my students to take in the world around them and document their daily lives and provide students with an easy, informal way to start thinking about new topics and ideas. Cleaning supplies, facial tissue, and plugins will help to keep the classroom germ free and smelling clean.
