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

The students this year are wonderful! They quickly adjusted to a new normal, distance learning or online learning. The students at our school are coming from a low income community where they are eager to learn! The group of students I work with range from Kindergarten to 6th grade. They learned a great deal in the last several months as we went on a big journey with distance learning. We have been remote since March and as we continue to try new things we see that students have a love for reading when they are exposed to it.

My Project

The books I have requested are mentor texts to support our new remote learning resource and platform.

The students will be read aloud to prior and during an engaging literacy lesson.

These books will be used by the teachers during their online meeting times with students. When we return to our school building, we will continue to use these books for read alouds and small group instruction. The books I am requesting provide students with an integration of life science and rich literature. There's nothing like reading an actual book to students and with your help, we can make this happen!
