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

Historical fiction is an important genre for students as it helps children make sense of the world around them by learning and understanding the past. As my 4th graders begin to learn about topics such as the Holocaust, the American Revolution, and other historical events, I am requesting books that represent diverse figures, perspectives, and experiences.

These books will be used for class reading during our Historical Fiction Book Clubs unit in ELA, provide representation for often marginalized communities, and normalize discussions about issues related to social justice.

They will be the sources used by my students as they embark on working with their peers to learn about people who lived during different time periods and settings. The culminating project will be a historical fiction story written by each student.
