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 come from an inner-city environment and they are incredible, bright, and resilient 10th graders who demonstrate a resolve to succeed in my classroom and beyond! They come to school prepared to grow both personally and academically every day!

My Project

Students deserve to read books and stories that help them grow as individuals and as readers. Adding books to our currently very limited library will provide my students with more choice during independent reading.

The books in my classroom should mirror the experiences and identities of my students.

Students overwhelmingly want to see more modern graphic novels, manga, nonfiction, and poetry that they can see themselves reflected in! Having these kinds of books easily accessible to the students will undoubtedly spark their interest and allow them to make personal and academic connections beyond the classroom!
