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
I teach 16 amazing students in a Title One school. Most of our students come from hard working families who try their best to provide their children with the tools they need. However, many times we have to help them at school with the learning tools as well. Our students have limited experiences beyond their neighborhoods. They don't always have access to visiting the library or technology resources at home. At school they know they have a safe, caring environment where they can learn and get the help they need.
My Project
Each year the Florida Association for Media selects 15 notable books to be the Sunshine State books for the new school year. This is a huge program for 3-5 grade students. They now offer a Sunshine State Jr. Program for students in Kindergarten through Second grade as well. I would like to add these 15 books to my classroom next year to promote reading and get my students familiar with the program they will participate in for the remainder of their elementary school years.
"Any book that helps a child form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him"- Maya Angelou.
Each year my goal is to instill a love of reading in my students. One method is by using motivational programs such as the Sunshine State program. This project will allow my students to read the Sunshine State Junior books in the classroom and make them more accessible. My students will use these books to discover new authors and characters. They will also learn about the democratic voting system by voting for their favorite book at the end of they year. This will tie into election year perfectly.
The Sunshine State Junior program is exciting way to get our new second graders reading more books and growing as individual learners next year.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
