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

"When I read my book, I'm a whole other person in a different world, looking through the characters' eyes and living through their problems." This quote is one student's take on reading for pleasure, an activity that is part of our class's daily routine. Imagine taking such a journey without leaving school?! My students are eager to embark on that trip by trading their boarding passes for the books in this project!

The students at my school reside in one of the poorest congressional districts in the United States.

When the last bell of the school day rings at 3:04 pm, most students head to a part-time job (whose income helps to put food on the table) in the neighborhood or home to take care of younger siblings or elderly relatives. Rarely does this second shift provide the space or time for leisure reading, an activity highly correlated with academic success, higher SAT scores, and a greater chance of admission to college. The reading students do in school is critical for providing an avenue to a brighter and more enriching life, and the materials in this project are books students are eager to delve into during class!
