Support Mrs. Peraza's classroom with a gift that fosters learning.
In our school library, there is a limited selection and number of current Spanish novels and most of what my students read are short stories assigned within the textbook. My goal this school year is to increase the number of books and novel selections that exists within our classroom library. A large number of students will be able to check out a book and take it home to read throughout the semester.
Reading in Spanish at home will increase my students' vocabulary, sentence fluency, comprehension skills and self-confidence in the usage of the language. Throughout the school year, my students will join Reading Circles to discuss different aspect of the novels. The reading of The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho will inspire my students to search within themselves and meditate on the road they will take to reach their dreams and/or realize their personal legend. At the end of their reading, they will work on a project of self-reflection: A guide to realize one's dream based on the life lessons learned from Santiago's journey, the main character from The Alchemist.
