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 teach a diverse group of seventh-grade students from New York! I have students from various nationalities, who speak different languages, come from different socio-economic backgrounds, and have different interests. Each child brings a different story and a different aspect to my class!

One of the many wonderful things about being an educator in NYC is that we have the opportunity to service and be of help to so many different children.

I take my job and my role seriously and hope to make a difference in their lives.

My Project

The materials donated for this project will be used in my classroom library, where all my students, and even some of their friends, have access to titles. I noticed I was lacking in nonfiction titles, so I definitely wanted to add some more! My students also have a "book wish list" and the books chosen for this project were picked based on their wish list.

With these books, my students who are avid readers will have more choices and my resistant readers will have other options to choose from that may capture their interest.

Having 90 students from diverse backgrounds, needs, wants, and interests, it is so important to keep an updated, relevant library so you can reach as many students as possible.
