Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Project

My 8th-grade students are eager to be back in their classroom and to build a class library that opens up their world to award-winning authors such as Jason Reynolds, (young adult books and novels related to social justice), Steve Sheinkin, (author of suspenseful history books for young adult readers), and other authors that represent them as well as other cultures and identities.

My 29 8th grade ICT students are in a small, equity access K to 8 school, with one class per grade.

As the 8th GE teacher of ELA, math, social studies, and science, I looped up with my students from 7th, and they are excited to have a voice in building our library with books that speak to them.
