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
My students attend a Title one school and are mostly low-income, but what I love about them is they have never once complained about lack of money/items, etc. They have big hearts with an even bigger spirit and what truly makes them happy is being able to make choices for themselves and have ownership over their learning.
One thing I am really focused on this year, with my almost middle schoolers, is the skills they need to survive and be successful in the real world.
By this, I mean being able to use what they know about life so far and the practices we work on each day to solve problems for themselves, constantly work hard, and make the best decision possible for their current situation.
I believe my students take great pride in knowing that they have the ability to do what's right, and they are allowed that chance each and every day. They also have faith that they can do whatever they set their mind to, but they have to put in the hard work and the road is not always easy. Every single one of them deserves the world.
My Project
Whether we are virtual or not, it is powerful to read a book together. Reading together builds community, vocabulary skills, and allows students to collaborate on theme and ideas together. Our reading curriculum has bits and pieces of many different great books, poems and articles, but there are no large stories from start to finish. After using our curriculum, students are always left yearning to know the rest of the story.
With these beautiful books, we can read and experience a book from start to finish.
We can do this together in our homes and reading through zoom or reading together in the classroom.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
