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

My students are a great group of kids. I have a classroom that is culturally diverse and many of my students are English language learners.

Although this is a small town with only six elementary schools, my students deal daily with the problems commonly associated with large urban school districts.

We have a high poverty population, and the neighborhood is not the safest. Regardless, my students come to school every day with smiles on their faces and ready to learn.

My Project

My students need access to a wide variety of visually exciting books that will help them learn about the natural world outside of Greenville, Texas.

My goal is to create a dynamic science library that will help develop reading skills, visual literacy, and an active interest in the environment and in environmental issues.

Books published by National Geographic are always a good choice because they have great pictures, and the content is always accurate. I have also included books by Gail Gibbons because they are easy to read and have a strong focus on vocabulary acquisition, which is perfect for English Language Learners!
