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

I teach extraordinary kindergarten, first, and second grade students with diverse learning needs. Students come into my classroom with an individualized education plan so we can meet their unique needs for success in all areas of their development. With our team we use different strategies so they can reach the curriculum in different ways.

Our classroom learns from one another, accepts our differences, and encourages each other.

Together we learn and grow from one another. Our classroom is filled with unique abilities and personalities that allow us to accept and recognize our differences that make us special.

My students are "OWL"stars! They want to learn and be engaged. The environment provided for them gives them a place to feel safe, confident, and know it's okay to learn from mistakes. They are excited to show their new skills. We are a community of learners that encourage and help each other. I am proud to be their teacher and hope to inspire them in their continued success!

My Project

The books I am requesting are geared for read alouds in November and December! These books will engage students and help me engage students in reading comprehension. We will dive deep into the stories and deepen our understanding of various concepts week to week.

Help me spark the love of reading and books for my students of various levels.

My students ages and grades span from Kindergarten to 2nd grade. These books can easily be differentiated to support their learning. I am also requesting an extra copy for students that appreciate following along while listening to a story independently and so it is available in our classroom library while the other is in use for the week and so they can pair up and read together.

Listening to stories read aloud will develop their listening skills.

I will be able to create engaging and interactive lessons to improve comprehension. Help me acquire these books and grow the love of reading!!
