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 Project

How do we foster a love of reading w/in a culturally diverse world? We do this by ensuring scholars have the materials to do so.

Equity and inclusion are at the forefront of my classroom.

These books and materials will enhance a culturally diverse library and build scholars social emotional skills that they need to cope with everyday challenges.

As a child, I did not have books with characters that resembled my cultural identity. One way to break that barrier is by building a love of reading using texts that expose them to characters they can relate to.
