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

My students are sixth, seventh, and eighth-graders at an urban bilingual school. My school is a special place and a community. Teachers and students alike are happy to be in school and are excited and eager to learn.

They love reading and discussing books!

My Project

I am always looking to have a variety of independent reading books in my classroom. I hear about so many great new young adult books every year, and it is important to keep my shelves updated.

With the possibility of blended online/in-person learning looming for the fall, I want to make sure I have a variety of engaging books, both in terms of reading level and content.

In this project, I chose a variety of book types, including black, Muslim, Native American, Asian, Latino, and LGBTQ protagonists. I always want to make sure that my classroom library both reflects my student population, and provides windows to worlds they know less about.
