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

The school library is quickly becoming one of the most well-loved places on our campus! I'd love to reward and encourage their interest in the library (and reading!) by purchasing some of the books they've suggested. We've created a great system for students to suggest new books or topics for the library.

By reading the books they are most interested in - even if that topic seems frivolous or silly to adults - my students can improve their reading skills and start to make up some of the learning loss created by the COVID pandemic.

When students feel like partners in choosing their own books, they get more excited about reading and learning and are more likely to continue those habits their whole lives.

This is our sixth "As You Wish" project and the titles on our list range from the popular Pete the Cat and Narhwal and Jelly books for beginning readers, the much-asked for Plants vs. Zombies graphic novels, and brand new editions of the Percy Jackson series and Dork Diaries, both of which will replace lost or beat-up (but well loved!) copies in our library.
