Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

As 8th graders, my students are getting ready to forge into high school and become more independent learners. I would like to give them the tools and experiences necessary to be ready for the learning that is ahead for them.

I have 103 unique and amazing students who come from different backgrounds and have very different learning needs--they all love to be read to; however, many of them are not interested in reading on their own!

One thing that brings them all together is their love of stories and their creative, compassionate nature.

Our diversity allows us to learn not only from the curriculum but from each other, making every experience and every day a learning opportunity. Once they get to high school, these young adults will be expected to read on their own. If I provide them with enough rich opportunities and a variety of stories to read, their fluency will continue to increase, therefore affording them more opportunity for success as independent learners. Because of generous donors, I have been able to build my classroom library to include many contemporary titles. I wish you could see how excited these 13-year-olds are when a new box of books arrives.

My Project

I have been very fortunate in that I have recently received a few boxes of new books for my classroom. I cannot tell you the increased interest in reading that seeing a box full of new books has provided to my students!

To see otherwise disinterested and reluctant readers smile because of a new book is this teacher's dream come true!

Please consider helping me put a smile on more faces, especially in these uncertain times. I would love to be able to place a box of books in the office of my school so that students can stop by and grab a new title to read while they are out of school!
