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.
What a group! I teach 3rd and 4th grade students in a self-contained 12:1:1 classroom. They are so special!
I am impressed with their drive to learn despite their "emotionally disturbed", "autistic", "learning disabled" and "speech and language impaired" diagnostic classifications.
For the first time in my teaching career, I am teaching students who favor all academic subjects. They enjoy sharing their individuality and uniqueness when we engage in our lively social studies or reading conversations. I admire them collectively on one particular character trait that is so essential to success in learning -- confidence!
My goal as their teacher is to direct their confidence to enhance their drive to learn and succeed in my classroom.
My Project
My goal as an educator is to create a rewarding experience for each of my students as a reader. Students will engage in reading if they are motivated to practice this skill and essential tool for life. The books that I chose are geared to captivate the interesting of my students. In this way they can relate to the text personally. I will incorporate these texts in many subject areas and lessons. These include independent reading, guided reading, holiday celebrations, literacy strategy groups and theatrical performances as drama play.
They absolutely love and enjoy comic books and engaging stories.
They will be thrilled to read not only as a requirement in order to complete and assigned task but they will request reading in their leisure time at home and during their independent reading.
