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

My 6th-grade students are such a diverse and fun-loving group of children! At our small K-8 school in the Bronx, we have worked collaboratively to support our students' emotional well-being, encourage their curiosity, and ensure they feel seen and represented within our curriculum!

This school year, I am lucky enough to have a class full of curious readers who cannot wait to learn all about mythology and legends from around the world!

It's great to see that they can be interested in stories from long ago that cultures have told and retold for thousands and thousands of years -- it makes it all the more fun when they can read independently, share books with each other, and provide recommendations. I want to see my students get excited when learning about other cultures and their respective mythology (with a modern twist) this year! By having options within the mythology books and cultures to choose from, students will get to learn not only about different stories and their significance to ancient civilizations, but they will also be able to find commonalities between the different stories, and perhaps even grow curious about their own cultures' myths and legends.

My students deserve to have a classroom library that reflects their own personalities and interests, while also expanding upon their current knowledge and opening up a window into new magical worlds. It would be amazing to have them pick up a book, Trials of Apollo, The 5-Book Paperback Boxed Set,

and the other requested that will spark their imagination and resonate with them in meaningful ways!
