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

There are 26 creative and hardworking first grade students in our classroom. We are the only first grade class in a high needs, low-income school on the Lower East Side in Manhattan. Despite so many hardships outside of our four walls, my students are eager to learn and do their best. I want them to not just feel safe, but to feel brave in our classroom by taking risks and asking questions while leading their own learning.

Many of my students come from families that struggle to provide their children with supplies for school.

I aim to inspire our earliest learners on a path of academic excellence by immersing them in a supportive, engaging and thought-provoking environment.

My Project

Our reading and writing workshops are closely intertwined as we learn about series books and the authors that write them. Students use the lessons and crafts in published books from awesome, admirable authors to create their own book series. Students love seeing the development of characters and connections in series books. They read them during reading workshop, and then they can use them to serve as mentor texts for writers workshop.

With these new books, students will become better readers and writers!

These collections of series books are series that first grade students are excited to read. Series books get children hooked on reading because once they read one book and love it; they want to read them all!
