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.
My Students
My class consists of a very diverse student population. They come with a wide range of academic, social-emotional and economic needs that often impact the ability to maximize learning.
Student thrive when taking ownership of their learning.
My students will benefit greatly by each student having their own reading book to discuss in a whole class novel study.
My Project
The “whole-novel concept,” is rooted in helping students have an immersive, uninterrupted experience with works of fiction.
Students develop empathy and make connections with their classmates through this shared experience.
The whole class novel concept involves having all students read the same novel on their own before reconvening as a class to share their individual insights.
The goal is to give students more voice and agency. Student of all reading levels take ownership of their work through group discussions that are often full of energy and driven by authentic responses to books.
By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus to reading, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
