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.
Our elementary school is a culturally rich school, with a diverse population of 580 students, in Pre-K through sixth grade.
Our Title I school population has 92% of students qualifying for free or reduced-priced lunches and a high concentration of English Language Learners.
We also serve two foster group homes, for temporary and long-term placement of homeless children.
We do not see these statistics as roadblocks. We see them as additions to our rich diversity. Together we will help students to develop to their fullest potential: Creative, problem-solving, compassionate adults.
My Project
The books I am requesting come highly recommended to improve reading and writing instruction. When questioned on Facebook 's learning communities, "What is your top go-to professional development book?" The answer was unanimous: From Striving to Thriving, by Stephanie Harvey and Annie Ward.
My students need a teacher who is constantly striving to give them the best literacy instruction possible.
As an educator, it is important to stay up to date on the latest research and instructional strategies. These books From Striving to Thriving, Writers Read Better, and Genius Hour will help me gain new strategies to improve my literacy instruction for the 2018-2019 school year. Please help me get the books I need to meet my summer reading goals.
