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

Students in our classroom come from working-class families in St. Paul. Many are first or second generation immigrants to Minnesota and all are learning a new language in our school's dual immersion program.

My third-grade readers relish time to sit down with a book every afternoon!

We love to find corners in our classroom, cozy spots under the tables, and big chairs at the teacher's desk to read independently or with a friend. Students in my room would be thrilled to crawl into a little tent and read their hearts out! This tent would inject excitement into the final months of the school year and inspire us to continue practicing our strong reading habits.

My Project

This tent will inject excitement into our Reader's Workshop during the last months of our school year! We are ordering a cozy tent for students to read in during independent or partner reading time. We are also requesting a cotton rug to delineate the tent area in our classroom. The rug will serve two purposes. It will make sitting on the floor more comfortable and will also ensure safety and help to avoid overcrowding in our appealing new reading nook. Third graders will be thrilled to take turns enjoying the tent and rug!

The space will be motivational and promote strong reading habits for all third-grade bookworms in our classroom.

Research shows that building reading stamina is essential for students' long-term academic success. We know the rigorous literacy demands of secondary school and strive to develop a love of reading to prepare students for these challenges. Our new tent will be a lightening rod of reading inspiration for 22 third-grade learners!
