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 students have an extended school day and an extended school year. They are taught the Common Core standards through a vigorous and rounded curriculum. Every student takes math, science, English, history, physical education, and enrichment. Students participate in a variety of extracurricular opportunities and events throughout the year, including clubs. Moreover, the majority of our students attend our after-school program to get homework help and tutoring.

Our students come to school in an open and caring environment.

We celebrate learning and success in our school. They are so eager to come to school every day. I just want them to get what they came for--an excellent education!

My Project

As a middle school teacher, I aim to inspire students to become lifelong readers. I share my passion for reading and how books have transformed my life. I work relentlessly to motivate them to read more and more. Although reading is a reward on its own, I want to reward my students for their reading achievement. Pencils, erasers, and bookmarks will remind them of their success.

Reading a book from cover to cover is a tremendous deal for my students!

For many, this year they have felt the satisfaction of reading, learning from and enjoying a book on their own.

Reading is the key to my students' future. Native English speakers and English Language Speakers alike, will acquire new vocabulary that will enable them to express themselves confidently (orally and through writing). The more they read, the more proficient they will become in English. Moreover, they will be able to think more critically about what they read and evaluate literature at a higher level. This project will help my students go from good to great academically and personally. I want all my students, including English Language Learners and Special Education to be proficient or advanced in English. Knowledge is power!
