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 really get excited about reading. We are a small community school located in the big city of Miami, which has lots of distractions. My students get excited with the smallest of incentives, even when the library is decorated. I want to continue to attract their attention to our Media Center. I want to be able to provide them a great comfy area to read.
As the Media Specialist, I want to encourage students to feel comfortable and highlight the fantastic resources our Media Center has to offer.
Most of our students love to read and come to the library at least twice a week. I need these students to continue to come to the library as they get older and feel that it's not just a place for the primary grades.
My Project
Our Media Center is not your conventional library. Most libraries are very quiet and do not allow for conversation. We talk and dance and move around. I enjoy playing music for our students. The music gets us in a good mood to enjoy the rest of our day. I play music depending on the time of year it is.
The students enjoy hearing all types of genres.
I always explain to the students the history or type of music it is. I feel with the Homepod, music will be heard throughout the media center and easy to use with our iTunes.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
