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.
We are an amazing, 100% Title I elementary school full of almost 600 smiling faces diligently working to reach our goals.
My students work hard to grow in all areas, including the Four Domains of Library: Think, Grow, Create, and Share.
Half of our students are beautifully bilingual, with 46% designated as limited English proficient. We are a neighborhood where families look out for one another. Our students walk to or are dropped off at school, with buses providing transportation only for our students in self-contained classes. Our transiency and chronic absenteeism rates are in the double digits and are higher than the district average. The digital divide, food insecurities, and being in a book desert with low book access are real issues for many of our hard-working families.
While we have obstacles to overcome, our dedicated staff, students, and families are working to show that success is building a community that cares for, supports, and works diligently for our wonderful and talented learners.
My Project
Over 100 students cycle through Library a day for a total of approximately 600 a week! Serving and teaching every student brings such joy. It also brings the need to differentiate lessons to meet their learning and behavior needs.
Having a TeacherPayTeacher gift card allows me to utilize materials for different standards and Mentor Texts at different levels and different learning styles.
One item in my Wish List is for activities for Boo Boo Writing using fun Band Aids I found that will help inspire characters and settings, but also teaches about the invention of the Band Aid! A few other items in my cart are for Author Brochures, Word Families, and nonfiction activities about Snow Leopards!
