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
My students are very active and hard-working from the moment they walk into the classrooms until it is time to go home. Their enthusiasm for learning is apparent when walking down the halls. Our students come from various backgrounds, mostly low-income. Teaching children from across the globe who speak little to no English is a challenge, but the one thing we all have in common is that we're excited about learning.
I have 26 beautiful children in second grade who come from different parts of Central and South America.
As a teacher in a low-income/high-poverty school district, my students have struggled with learning how to read and write in English. However, I can proudly say that I have a small group of students that have reached their reading goals and are able to read the Magic Treehouse books series. Yayyy! I've created a book club just for them. This book club will encourage other students in the classroom to also reach their reading goals.
The books that I am requesting will continue to encourage these students to develop a love for reading. Students will be able to read these vocabulary-rich books, which will entice them to continue to enjoy independent reading.
Requesting books from a series they love will help them grow stronger in reading. My students already have shown an astonishing interest in independent reading, and this project will only help enrich their experiences with the printed word.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
