Connecting With Books

Help me give my students stories to share in class and at home that reflect who they are. Students will carry the books home in a colorful bag with a folder filled with suggested activities for families.

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

I work with a diverse population of students in grades K through 2. They live in an urban neighborhood in Rhode Island. Most of my students are English Language Learners that come from Central America and the Caribbean. The students and their families are hardworking people that truly appreciate the education they are receiving. It is for me an honor to be able to contribute to their education.

As a teacher, I would love to offer these students and their families books that reflect their culture with characters that physically resemble themselves.

There is nothing more special to young children than to be able to see themselves reflected in the stories they read.

As an educator, I strive to teach community. We explore our commonalities about love, compassion, and respect for one another. We learn from each other every day.

My Project

These books will be used to excite young students and their families. Stories will be heard in class, then sent home where the child and family can also join in on the fun! The stories will reflect and celebrate the culture of our students.

Many of our students are from Latin America, and they will see themselves and their families reflected in many of these carefully chosen books.

After the students and their families have a chance to enjoy the stories, the students will bring back the book and share how their family interacted with the book. This project allows families to interact and be part of the school community.
