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 in the South Bronx are full of energy, enthusiasm, ambition, motivation and full to the brim with joie de vivre! We have students of all capabilities, strengths, cultures, languages. It's a diverse bunch, with a lot of different personalities but a commonality they share is a hunger for knowledge, world experiences and reading.

Using literature, our students can escape into many worlds, far from their typical South Bronx lives, if only for a moment each week.

Having time to build further community spirit within our school, while educating and widening their reading prowess, will enable these students to have a safe space, a place to share, creativity to flow and most of all, reading independently which is the tenet of our schools mission.

My Project

It can be a struggle sometimes to engage or motivate students to read in class, let alone independently. Having the interest and the enthusiasm from a diverse range of students is exciting, motivating and shows me how hungry my students are to find themselves in the world.

By giving my students a nice, clean space with some amazing books to read, beanbags to sit on, a tea/coffee machine to make some drinks, lights to jazz up the room and create a "coffee shop" style kind of space it will ensure they remain inspired and enthusiastic.

Reading independently will help my students to broaden their horizons, open their minds, explore new worlds, and help guide them to where they want to be by honing their literacy skills both in and out of the classroom!

Teenagers who are motivated is an exciting prospect, especially teenagers who WANT to drag themselves away from electronics and engage in the world of reading.
