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 Project

The world has been a stressful and emotional place for the past 2 years, especially for children! Many of my students have lost a loved one, have been through family financial changes, and even lost their "home" due to Covid. We utilize our Second Step SEI curriculum daily, but I would also like to bring in some new read alouds for my class that will allow us to have meaningful conversations, that can link to their social/emotional development, and activities that go along with each lesson.

These books and printer will help my students to make personal connections, being able to identify their feelings and emotions through the read alouds, and complete connected activities!

Being able to add books to my classroom library for my students, is really important to me. I believe that through class read alouds, a teacher can also help to build a thriving classroom community and family. Reading also helps students expand their vocabulary, increase their knowledge about people, cultures, emotions, topics, and improves brain function and memory. My students will be able to learn about emotions, feelings, and actions, as well as people, self-awareness, and perseverance by adding these books to our classroom library! Getting this project funded will help my students build a strong classroom community while learning social and emotional skills.
