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

We all know reading a lot is key to a child's learning. Children enjoy reading new books, learning from them, engaging their imaginations, and building their reading skills. In order to accomplish this, a classroom must have many options that are rich in diversity, content, language, levels, and themes.

With a classroom library that is diverse, accessible, and at their level, my students can engage with books that will not only build their reading skills but will enhance their knowledge of the world around them and build empathy in their lives.

The books I have chosen help to meet the students' needs in regards to content being taught in the classroom as well as giving students the chance to read about mindfulness, and inclusivity, and are relatable to a wide range of students. The books I have chosen include a wide range of themes and levels. This would make sure that there is something that appeals to every student.

I will not just have the books available to read for students in the book holders in a library setting in my classroom, but I will choose a book each week of the school year, and we will read them together as a class and cultivate classroom discussions, activities, and allow instruction such as writing and social studies to be themed to the books, which provides a high level of student engagement.
