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 in a low socio-economic area with diverse demographics in an urban public school distict. Budget cuts have halted any new purchases for the school library and our librarian has returned to the classroom. Often the library is closed before school and at lunch, so students have limited access.

My students often have more on their minds than a trip to the public library to find a book.

The books on my wish list are all books that my current students couldn't put down. I am more than a little proud when I overhear my students asking to borrow each other's books or having conversations about how they relate to the protagonist or how they have read every book by a certain author. My students created a YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK list to help their peers choose books for independent reading and book projects. Unfortunately, our school library carries very few current young adult literature authors that could inspire students to recapture that love for reading they once had as elementary students.

My Project

By looking at the picture on the project profile you can tell that my classroom library is a bit dated and limited in resources. Your donation will help me begin to rebuild my classroom library so that students have immediate access to current, interesting, and award winning novels that may just take them away from their technology long enough for them to simply enjoy a good story and realize that reading can be an adventure.

In a time when teens would rather watch television, YouTube, text, or be on Facebook for entertainment it is really difficult to keep them interested in reading.

By providing high interest, peer recommended books in my classroom, many of my reluctant readers may find that reading if fun again.
