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

I'm a second year librarian at a middle school and I've been blown away by the students. They are kind, good listeners, and truly eager to learn. This year I've also joined the Black Student Union and Organization of Latin American Students in order to better know the needs of my students of color.

This is truly a great school community.

When I have collaborated with classroom teachers I am continuously amazed by how engaged students are, even while on Zoom. We're hoping to be on campus soon and I can't wait to get kids back into the library and reading!

My Project

Children want to see themselves in the books they read. Yet, too often, the books they're told to read are outdated and have characters they can't relate to. By working with English teachers and our diversity clubs, I have complied a list of high quality books that feature diverse characters and are relevant to students today!

With these new books, my students and I are so excited to work with teachers to create book clubs in their classes.

Students will be able to choose which book they want to read and will be leaders in discussions. Choice in reading is one of the best ways to interest and engage students to read more! While reading, children will increase their literacy skills and also learn about the experiences of diverse individuals. We will also have the opportunity to share with other class about our reading experiences and create dialogue in our school community.
