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 are from a small town in Palm Beach County and come from a variety of different economic backgrounds where 91% of students are on free and reduced-price lunch. Some students come into class without knowing any English! This has been the story for many of my students this past school year. Although I have students from various backgrounds, my school did receive new students who were displaced because of Hurricane Maria last school year. These students have moved to Florida because of devastation and destruction to their home and school in Puerto Rico. This effect has given these children a new home, school, friends, language, and culture. I have been enjoying supporting my newest students. After giving them time to feel welcome to our school and community, I have found areas where I can help them grow and develop within their overall academics including reading, writing and learning to speak English. I love to watch all the growth and accomplishments of every child, every day. Year after year, my heart only grows bigger for all of my students with each year of teaching. Every child has a special place in my heart.
My Project
These Scholastic News Magazines will engage my young readers with articles that interest them and help them learn about the world around them. Giving the students various types of print such as books and magazines helps these young students learn to research to find out information. My students love to read the nonfiction text in the magazine to learn about animals, people, holidays and the world around them. There are learning activities and specific videos from the Scholastic site that teach more information that accompanies these to extend the learning. My students love to take these home and share them with their families too!
