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.

I am currently a 5th grade teacher at a Staten Island School. I've been asked to loop (follow the previous year's 4th grade class) to the 5th grade. This past year the students had the opportunity of reading many historical fiction books about the world. I would like to continue sharing historical views of America with my class using two authors, one Patricia Polacco, the other Eve Bunting. Both authors have written many memorable books that I believe students can learn from. Most of the students are from low-income families and cannot afford to purchase the books. The school population is 80% African-American, 20% Latino. 100% of the students are on free-lunch. The students and I would truly appreciate it if the class had at least one copy of each of the authors' books. The themes we can create with both authors can truly benefit the students' understanding of togetherness, humanity, humility, and Americanism, reading, learning, and giving. We thank you in advance for any and all help you can give.
