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 Students

I teach in a public school where we offer Spanish and English in a dual language program. Students in this program are very eager to learn, and love to read different genres in both languages. Usually, students are so engaged that they complete books really quickly and are ready for a next one! Students in this program love to discuss all about their favorite readings and love the fact that they can choose between two sets of languages.

It is important to the dual program that we are preparing students to become both bilingual and biliterate, and with a more appealing, diverse, and leveled library, this goal can definitely be achieved!

My Project

An appealing Spanish library with a diversity of books and leveled literature will allow for students in the dual language program to grow in Spanish language proficiency, social/emotionally, and culturally.

Students in the dual language program are engaged readers, who are always seeking a variety of genres for Spanish books; however, our program is lacking of the resources to build on language skills so that students can become stronger in Spanish.

All four class grades are constantly sharing the scarce amount of books we have in one language. Also, students who have read through the small amount of books in the Spanish library have nothing else to look forward to.

We the dual language team have decided to address this need of Spanish books, so that the interest of students are constantly sparked in both languages, and not just English. The products we have selected for the program will indeed be a blessing for the dual language classrooms, and the students we serve!
