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

Help me create a new world in our library.

After cleaning out our outdated library, I realized that our students needed access to an array of books that fed their interest and desire to dive deeper into literature and mirror who they are in our community.

I have included student-interest books such as, 'Elephant and Piggie,' 'Arnie the Doughnut,' 'And Diary of a Wimpy Kid' and multicultural books such as 'Lil Dominican Readers.' As a Latina educator, I aspire to foster a love for literature and create a library where my students can find pieces of who they are within a book.
