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 a single gender class in a Title I school. There are 16 girls in my class who love to read and write every day. Every day, I see my students during literacy centers mimicking an interactive read aloud, and asking questions about the books they read to better understand them. They are future teachers in the making.
My Project
"The more you read, the more things you know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." Dr. Seuss
I teach a class of 16 wonderful girls who love to read and learn new things. They are learning every day how important it is to read each day. They love to hear stories read to them over and over again. For many of them, English is their second language, so hearing stories each day, and having the opportunity to pick up those same stories, helps develop their vocabulary and love for reading. Being able to pick out their own books in a classroom library would help their love for reading grow. Giving them a chance to see different genres, familiar books that they know and love, and new books that they can learn to love will help them grow as readers and young ladies.
