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

My students are eager to explore the world through science. They tackle challenging questions by using their creativity and imagination and by participating in experiments and scientific activities. The hands-on approach pushes their thinking and allows them to think beyond what can be read and written; they surely love learning through experiences. They take on new challenges every time they come into the classroom, but they don't always have the best resources to aid them.

This doesn't stop them, however.

Each individual brings their unique personalities, interests, and strengths to the class to make learning possible. They are full of energy, ideas, and are very interested in learning but the right resources may just make their experience more meaningful. During class, students use these diversities to engage in great conversations and lead to new ideas and deeper understanding. Thank you - 6th grade students.

My Project

With the books listed, my students will find it easy to pick up a book and difficult to put it down. These new and exciting physical books will help them dive into the wonder of reading as they turn each page.

I often notice that students find themselves saddened when finishing a book because they know that our classroom has limited books.

Most of our books are dated and all the good ones have already been passed around multiple times. A new set of books in English and Spanish will ignite the magical worlds that every library should have, as readers find excitement in picking out a new book.

These books will help our classroom grow as readers and we will really love for your support.
