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 children who reside on the peninsula of Queens. Although, we are a part of Queens, due to our location my students do not have access to many resources other schools in the city have. The students population consist of 49% Latino, 43% Black, and 8% Asian/White. Many of our students are first generation American citizens.

A diverse cache of books would help to bridge the educational and socio-emotional gap for our students with their counterparts in other school districts.

Our students deserve books that are culturally relevant to them and are direct illustration of diversity in our school community.

My Project

With these new books, my students will be able to choose from a variety of diverse books that will allow them to read independently and make connections to their own life.

Students will become better readers when they are exposed to texts that are relevant to them.

My hope is that the books will continue to foster a community of life-longer learners no matter their social, economic, or academic background. I believe students will thrive when they have the necessary tools to not only be successful, but are relevant to them and their lives.
