Travel the World Through Books

Help me give my students a more worldly perspective on life with books. We want to study the countries outside of the United States so we can become world travelers someday!

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 work hard in class. They put their best foot forward and are inspired to do better. Their parents value education greatly but are often unable to support learning outside of the school day.

The students of today will be the leaders of tomorrow; future doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, engineers, and software designers.

As a teacher, it is my job to prepare these students for careers that are not in existence yet. By giving my students opportunities in the classroom to grow and succeed, I can see that I am shaping the future of our GREAT nation.

My Project

I have included a robust list of texts about various countries, written for elementary-aged students because I want our classroom to be able to study various countries throughout the world and report back about the neat things happening outside of the United States. My students haven't had the opportunity to travel the world. I want them to be able to see what more is out there for them to experience.

One way I plan to make my students more worldly is by exposing them to the cultures and traditions of other countries.

I want them to see there is more to the world than Dallas. I want them to begin the life-long love of traveling the world. I want them to see and value other cultures, different from our own. I want my students to use these books to see what is beyond our borders.
