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 enthusiastic, energetic fifth graders who want to learn. They are a warm hearted and hard working group.
We are in a neighborhood where education is a priority, but finances tend to be tight.
Parents work very hard to help our school and students in what ever way they can, like through volunteering.
My Project
I've switched grade levels this year and I need to build my classroom library. I want my students to have a wide selection of books that will get them excited to read. I have students reading at various levels and I want to make sure they have interesting books to read no matter what level of reading they are at. My class also includes second language learners, so I want to make sure I have enough titles that will peak their interest too. The more my kids read, the more they will be learning.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
