Celebrating 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.
Give this project a boost!
A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
My students are all native Spanish speakers that are enrolled in a One-Way Dual Language Program. This means that we learn English Language Arts and Math in English, and Native Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies in Spanish. Our program is committed to helping our students to become both bilingual and biliterate.
My students are resilient and have a passion for learning.
My students are unique, creative, and thoughtful! They are scientists, authors, and the leaders of tomorrow.
All of my students receive free lunch, breakfast, and a snack at school. The childhood poverty rate in our district is among the highest in the state and many of my students face challenges with hunger, unstable housing, and lack access to technology. Despite these challenges, my students and their families are highly involved in our school community and we continue to work together to ensure the success of our students.
My Project
This project will help me to expand our classroom library to include books with characters from different cultures, who practice different religions, speak different languages, and more! It is extremely important for students to see themselves reflected in the books that they read. By reading these books, students will learn to accept themselves and others and realize that everyone is unique and important.
When learning virtually, books will help to bring us together!
Starting off this school year in a virtual program will be something new for me and my students. These books will help us to have shared experiences through reading and bond as a class. They will help me to create a welcoming and inclusive (virtual) environment, and build positive relationships with students and their families.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
