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.
Our school is in a tiny district in rural Texas. Although our district is small, our scholars know that for everyone in our district, reading is important. If you are visiting our school you can often find many school employees, from custodians to our superintendent, and other community members sitting somewhere comfortably and reading to kids.
I am a teacher who truly identifies herself with William Wordsworth quote~ What we have loved others will love and we will teach them how.
A voracious reader myself, you can often find me browsing through book. Wanting to instill the same love for books in my students I’ve worked hard on building and amazing library for early readers. I'm happy to say that our 1st grade class read over 1000 books last year and accumulated over 200 AR points. After teaching kinder and 1st grade, I took on the challenge of moving up to 3rd grade. While my library is my pride and joy it is not age appropriate for the needs and interest of 3rd graders. Our classroom library needs to grow up just as we have, and we need to move on from picture to high quality chapter books.
My Project
In her book The Book Whisperer, Donalyn Miller explains that given independent reading time and the opportunity to choose what to read can convert non-readers into lifelong readers. Traditionally teachers pre-select a book for a class or group of students to read and subsequently complete assignments that go with the text. Choosing a book for students takes away a reader's ownership and very often they find no connection to the book. A variety of books will better meet the needs and interest of students.
Literature is powerful and can take my students anywhere, past and future and provide them with experiences that they may never get to have outside of a book.
The first book of the Magic Tree House series tells the story of Jack and Annie who are magically transported to the Mesozoic era. While walking through the woods Jack and Annie find a tree house full of books. Jack grabs a book about dinosaurs off a shelf and opens it to a page with a bookmark, a page with a pteranodon. Impressed by the illustration Jack say he wishes he could see a pteranodon for real. Suddenly the house starts spinning when everything stops Jack and Annie are surprised to see a live dinosaur staring at them.
Any reader knows that very often books in a series are left with what is called a cliff hangers that make readers want to keep reading. All the books we want for our library provide exactly that. Reading opens doors to worlds unknown, help us fall in love with reading.
