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

My students attend a high-poverty school with very limited resources. 100% of students are offered a free hot breakfast and lunch. A large number of my students attend a before-school program AND an after-school program, leaving them at school for close to a total of 8-10 hours per day. There is limited parent involvement in my classroom, as most parents are busy with either work or attending school themselves. With all of this data, it is so surprising that my students are still passionate about learning, regardless of their lack of resources.

As an educator at a high poverty school, I am inspired to gather more resources for students to thrive and further their love of learning!

My Project

My readers LOVE non-fiction! This unit is particularly important for first graders because it sets a strong foundation for the SBAC test once they reach 3rd grade. Introducing nonfiction at such an early grade promotes using various text features, finding facts and using their knowledge to assist in their writing.

They are enthralled by the pictures and information they can learn about animals, weather, science and history!

My students are so engaged when we read nonfiction together, especially when they are able to read a Scholastic magazine. The first-grade team currently has to share these magazines, which means each class gets to personally keep only ONE magazine per month. I want my students to have their own collection of nonfiction magazines at home!
