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 have twenty amazing 3rd grade students that show up to class eager to learn, despite the challenges they are faced with, both in and out of the classroom. Our school is a low income Title I school that offers free breakfast and lunch to all children. My students have a wide variety of learning styles and levels, all of which deserve the best education possible. Every student in my classroom is unique, and everyone in the room respects each other. I care about my students and they know it!
My goal, as a bilingual teacher, is to encourage my students to love learning and to develop lifelong independent learners.
I especially love that my students try their best on everything that comes their way. They love to read and enjoy hands-on activities. They are great helpers, and I know I can count on them. Every day, I make sure to instill good qualities that will make them amazing citizens. I want my students to remember me when they grow up, so I make them feel welcome, safe, and important on a daily basis!
My Project
I am more than happy to create this book project with a selection of books chosen by my students. I am passionate about instilling a love of reading in children. I believe that student choice is the key to turning students into readers. Every year I get to see my students become readers and that makes me beyond proud! From avid readers to reluctant readers, my kiddos are sure to find something to read that they enjoy. No matter the age of a child, learning comes from books.
It's really simple, kids need books!
I read aloud to my students every single day! I also give them 30 minutes of independent reading every day. I thought it would be a great idea to ask my students for some books they were interested in since our classroom library consists of books I have previously purchased. They came up with this list and I would love some support in funding this project for them!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
