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 classroom is comprised of many students who are immigrants and speak a language other than English at home, are gifted, or part of our special education programs.
I love the start of each day as students line up ready to get to class.
They smile because they know that something exciting will happen. I keep them guessing at what new things I might try or how I will read, and even what I just might wear (I came dressed as Dr. Seuss one day). These students all have different interests, from playing sports to reading a good book, but they share a common bond, the bond of curiosity and that is truly an amazing gift.
My students live in a high poverty area in Arizona. Our school is a Title I campus, and 100% of the school is eligible for the free lunch program. Our focus goals are to greatly improve our writing and our math abilities, but a major focus is to improve our reading ability of fluency to comprehension in all aspects of our school and classroom.
My Project
Our class is loving our reading projects and our next book we would love to invest our time is is Wonder. Students run into similar issues throughout their learning and school days.
Helping students understand differences is huge, while getting them to believe in all students and to share their learning is tremendous.
Students are able to understand the story, we we go through the characters first year at school and dealing with the issues - helps students understand as well. I would love to have a class set of Wonder, so every student can read along, follow along, and share with their family the many joys of this book.
