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

Our Charter High School is a small but friendly High School were students socioeconomics status are based on inequities in access to resources. These students lack confidence due to poverty and lack of opportunities. As an educator, I want to offer what's best to help these students grow and be part of the change. Not only in Physical Education class, where students can express and enjoy sports in a friendly manner while being active. But also in other academic disciplines.

Unfortunately, my students don't have access to a school library yet.

Admin and teachers staff are doing their best to provide resources to students who are having difficulty with the skills of reading and writing comprehension. Since it is a charter school, money is a problem when it comes to purchasing additional resources.

My Project

These books will continue to enhance students' interest in reading and will help expand their vocabulary. This "lending school library" will be a perfect opportunity for students at Bert Corona Charter High School to have a place to read with their peers and teachers. Every book that is placed in this library will be treated with love and care. All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind. We have also asked them what type of books they would enjoy reading. Students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading time.

With these new books, my students will be able to choose from a variety of book genres that will allow them to read independently at their own grade level.
