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
This year, my students are very special to me as some of them had me for their second grade teacher as well! I have been gifted a class that works hard, likes to have fun and cares deeply for others. As sixth graders, my students are the leaders of the school and are striving everyday to prepare for middle school next year.
My class is has a wide variety of personalities, backgrounds and passions which drive them each day.
I love that they share so many parts of themselves with me regarding activities in school as well as out of school. It has really enabled me and my class to build a strong relationship so far this year!
My Project
Even before COVID, the summer slide has been reality. Our students are motivated throughout the year to read book after book for fun as well as for academic purposes. Each summer students lose their reading potential due to many reasons such as libraries being closed or inaccessible during COVID, and schools being closed. Maybe their family doesn't have the funding to purchase extra books and has relied on the school library as a primary book source.
I want to give my students one book each to help prevent the summer slide.
Even one book allows them to use their imagination as well as the skills that have been taught and practiced all year long. Students can include their family in the reading as well and strengthen more than one skill.
