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 Project

The city of Springfield is extremely diverse. Many of our families have immigrated from various countries with native languages other than English. We have students from Africa, Asia, South America, Central America, and Europe. After an influx of Newcomer students (students who have resided in the US for less than one year) we are seeking materials that can be used in content classes. My students are in third - fifth grade and many are reading and writing in their native languages. We are asking for books in various languages, both picture books and chapter books, so that students can have something to read when there is down time. These books will make students more at ease as they start school in a new country and learn a new language. We are asking for materials such as student notebooks, lamination paper, dry erase markers, 3 ring binders, and a binding comb machine. In addition to these materials to be used with students, we are asking for the teacher resource: The ABC's And All Their Tricks, which was a suggested read from a Science of Reading Professional Development. Any contribution is greatly appreciated! Thank You!
