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.
Students who are motivated to read are more successful in school. Some day these students will look back at their school experience and I want them to look back with great tales of motivation and inspiration.
My school is located in the community of South Central Los Angeles.
We are the home of the Lions where we always say, "Never, Never Give Up." I have 31 wonderful students that come to school ready to work and do their best. Our class logo is "Dedication - Hard Work." They come with a very diverse range of home structures: nuclear, single parent, foster and migrant, to name a few. My students love to be at school and enjoy learning, especially when the activities involve STEM. Many of them are already planning to become engineers, scientists, mathematicians, etc.
My Project
I need these books for Literature circles. I want them to be exposed the the best literature we can expose them to and to the greatest extent possible. Literature circles and reciprocal reading groups is a very effective strategy to transform the comprehension of struggling readers but it doesn't work if the students are reading boring texts. I will create groups of four for each literature group. They deserve the best.
Studies show that students who read perform better in all subject areas and have an advantage on standardized tests.
My students desperately need to improve their reading fluency. By introducing them to these books, I hope to create a bridge that will lead them to a life-long enjoyment of reading. So please help me out!
