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

As a second year teacher I could not have asked for a more hardworking fourth grade class. Students in my class have ownership of their own learning and a lot of what goes on happens organically. Because of the passion I have for my subject area and my strong desire to share it with the kids, my class is definitely engaging. They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. Truly, they are my inspiration!

My Project

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latinx, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Student ps are more inclined to engage in learning they can connect with. Help me engage students engage in reading. Students are excited about reading and always want to read new books. My classroom library is a place that my students really enjoy-I read on the carpet to them, they complete work there, and they read independently! Every student book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunities to read. Student would love to have more options for silent reading time.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
