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 am a fourth-grade teacher in a large Pre-K through 8th school. Most if not all of my students come from lower income families. Our students are amazing individuals, many of whom have challenging home lives.

Despite these difficulties, many of the children are active and excited about learning.

As they try their best to learn, I try my best to give them a good education and an introduction to the American way of life.

My students come from very low socioeconomic backgrounds and low-income families. All the children at my school receive free lunch and snack daily. Many of them do not have basic school supplies and other necessary items. Despite all of the challenges these students face in their daily lives, each student comes to school ready to learn and succeed.

My Project

Reading every day is very important. My students need books to learn new vocabulary words, new ideas, and to enjoy new stories. They read every day for twenty minutes and having updated books in the classroom library would be wonderful.

Guided reading is very important and having the appropriate books for the different group levels will help me to instruct my groups more effectively.

My students enjoy reading! These new books can encourage the whole class to read at home. Some of my students do not have books to read at home and these books can help them to continue learning after school.
