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, like many, had to learn through the hardships of online learning in two languages (English and Spanish). They spent their first years of education online but will finally be able to go in person, meet their classmates, and have access to physical books. They continued to be curious of the world and asked many questions.

My students deserve a variety of books that will answer their questions, regardless of the language they ask them in.

My Project

Young learners are always very curious about their world and I want to provide age appropriate texts that they will enjoy reading while learning and hopefully satisfy some of their curiosities.

This project will allow my students to expand their reading capabilities and learn new vocabulary in both English and Spanish as they choose from a variety of non-fiction and fiction books in both languages.

These books will diversify my library as it will be more culturally relevant to my students. My students will also learn about different ethnic groups, important people in US history and different scientific topics.
