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

At heart I am still an English teacher even though I currently lead junior and senior seminar classes. I've always loved literature and have taken great pride in my classroom library. Unfortunately, something happened during summer school and an entire bookcase of mine disappeared: including the books!

Fiction captures the imagination and transports the reader to places and times they've never been but non-fiction can teach us everything from skin care to gardening.

When I asked my students earlier this week if anyone had book requests, I had quite a few students show me their Amazon reading lists. First, I was shocked and pleasantly surprised. Next, I knew I had to get them for my students. It's so hard to get students interested in reading that when someone actually asks for a book, I want that to happen as soon as possible.

Keeping the love of reading going is so important to me. In today's digital world, very few teens want to pick up an actual book. But that's where ideas are born. A well-read student is one who can run the world!
