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

Our bilingual students are artistic, bright, creative, and kind bilingual 5th graders who would really benefit from having an up-to-date bilingual library that reflects their interests, bilingualism, and academic goals.

This group of students loves reading, and especially non-fiction titles from the "Who Was....?" series.

They have expressed their desire to read more titles from this series, and others, in Spanish, not only in school, but also at home with their families.

My Project

The incredibly bright, curious, kind, thoughtful students in our 5th grade Dual Language class deserve interesting, relevant and meaningful books in Spanish. This collection of books in Spanish will be used not only in our class, but also at home to read with their families. One book, "¿Quién es Malala Yousafzai?/ Who is Malala Yousafzai? would be the perfect title to read as a class to learn about this inspiring young woman. In addition to that, we would like to read "Frida, el misterio del anillo del pavo real y yo (Me, Frida, and the Secret of the Peacock Ring)" as a book study. Both of these titles will be encouraged to be read at home with students' families, too, who are Spanish speakers. Lastly, students will use the collection of "Who Was...?" books to complete daily Reader's Response entries in their notebooks. These books will be rotated throughout the year so as to maximize the amount of titles being read in Spanish by all students. Having meaningful books in Spanish will help increase student and parent engagement in our class/school community by inviting parents and students to use their home and second languages.
