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

Our school has a saying that every teacher and student knows. "We work hard! We never quit! We're going to College!" My classroom works hard to make sure they leave elementary school ready for junior high and the rest of their lives!

My school has a a population of over two-thirds English Language Learners.

I specifically work with students in special education. Many of my students have a learning disability on top of being English Learners, which means my students need even more exposure to a vocabulary rich environment.

My Project

Students in my class will use these new books to earn more points for our school wide Accelerated Reader program. After so many points, students earn different recognitions and accomplishments throughout the school. The AR program is very motivating for students in my class. It has helped foster a love for books.

This project will provide an even more language rich environment for my students to learn and grow.

My students get so excited over new books and this will reinforce the enjoyment they have been getting out of reading.
