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

We are a Title I School, meaning at least 40% of the families in our school are considered low income. The Title 1 policy is “committed to closing the achievement gap between low-income students and other students” as per the U.S. Department of Education.

My Project

We are working on building a brand new classroom library. Most importantly, including books that are inclusive and diverse. Building a love for reading starts with having a diverse library to choose from. These books can be affirming and build confidence. We would like to build a book collection that includes diverse books that reflect the races, ethnicities, cultures, and languages of the children in our classroom community.

It brings me joy when I read books and students share how much they relate to the character.

They say things like, "Thats me! I am Aaron", "That reminds me of my brother...".
