¡Estamos encantados de felicitar a nuestros ganadores de asistencia perfecta de enero! Su compromiso y dedicación realmente importa y apreciamos todo su trabajo.

For the past 3 year we have been doing a reading challenge for Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15th to October 15th.

Each year, each grade level/team creates trees, "Blooming From Our Roots". Each grade level gets together as a team and reads books/stories from Hispanic authors or Hispanic Stories, it provides a window into diverse experience, cultures, and perspectives that are often unrepresented in mainstream literature, allowing readers to gain a deeper understanding of Latino identities, histories, and struggles, fostering empathy and promoting cultural awareness.

As the grade level reads these books they post a picture of the covers on the their trees. As the weeks go their tree "BLOOMS".

Hence our title Hispanic Heritage Marathon; Blooming From Our Roots.

The grade level that reads the most books gets a prize. Last year they received popcorn and juice. THIS YEAR they will receive an ice-cream party AND a bounce house party. We are so excited to provide this experience to our students and while promoting cultural awareness we are also encouraging our students to want to read more.

See the attached photos of our trees before they BLOOM! We cant wait to provide after photos at the end of the marathon.

Durante los últimos 3 años hemos estado realizando un desafío de lectura para el Mes de la Herencia Hispana del 15 de septiembre al 15 de octubre.

Cada año, cada nivel de grado/equipo crea árboles, "Blooming From Our Roots". Cada nivel de grado se reúne como un equipo y lee libros/historias de autores hispanos o historias hispanas, lo que proporciona una ventana a diversas experiencias, culturas y perspectivas que a menudo no están representadas en la literatura convencional, lo que permite a los lectores obtener una comprensión más profunda de las identidades latinas. , historias y luchas, fomentando la empatía y promoviendo la conciencia cultural.

A medida que el grado lee estos libros, publican una foto de las portadas de sus árboles. A medida que pasan las semanas su árbol "FLORECE".

De ahí nuestro título Maratón de la Herencia Hispana; Floreciendo desde nuestras raíces.

El grado que lea más libros recibirá un premio. El año pasado recibieron palomitas y jugo. ESTE AÑO recibirán una fiesta de helado Y una fiesta inflable. Estamos muy emocionados de brindar esta experiencia a nuestros estudiantes y, mientras promovemos la conciencia cultural, también animamos a nuestros estudiantes a querer leer más.

¡Vea las fotos adjuntas de nuestros árboles antes de que FLORECEN! Estamos ansiosos por brindarles fotos después del final del maratón.
