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
As a bilingual teacher in a low-income and high poverty school district, I know that my students are faced with various challenges in and out of the classroom. My desire is to maintain a positive learning experience so that my students become motivated learners.
My students are innovative, bright, and very inquisitive.
They like to work in groups. They enjoy reading and especially positive attention. Many of them are below the poverty level and receive a free lunch based on their socioeconomic status. These experiences may prevent them from getting ahead early in life. I hope to inspire my students on a path of academic achievement.
My Project
Que Tal is an excellent source of reading texts in Spanish. My students are Bilingual, but need language in their primary language to help build reading fluency. This magazine is fun to read and engages the reader. The graphics are very interesting, and full of current events throughout the world. My students will be kept up to date on news world wide.
Building reading fluency in a students home language is essential for their academic success.
I plan to use this text during small group so that students can share their ideas with their peers and myself.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
