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

Most of students have immigrant parents or are immigrants themselves. They have different living situations, and they come from different socioeconomic backgrounds. Ninety-nine​ percent of the students that attend my school receive free and reduced-price lunch. But that doesn't deter their passion for equality, fairness and their support for one another. They help bear each other’s burdens on a daily basis and in doing so they have developed a special bond. My students are some of the most caring and joyful people I have ever had the opportunity of knowing.

They recognize the challenges they face and realize that each day they are receiving the tools and skills to help them have choices in their education and their life.

My students are very passionate and very driven to stand up for their rights as well as the rights of others who may be vulnerable in any given situation.

My Project

These books will allow me to help my students be more resilient, to love themselves and accept themselves the way they are. To encourage them to be fighters and never give up. Some of these books would be used in the guidance book club and will enhance their lives. Their lives are bettered in some of the following ways: mentally, spiritually and socially. Also, if we develop a habit reading will we become more confident and self-assured​ in abilities to comprehend and understand all types of information and even understand themselves.

I plan to purchase some new books, with the goal in mind of exhausting all options to help all of my students become motivated readers.

There is perhaps no greater avenue to learning then through reading. When we develop a practice a habit of reading, we are building solid foundation on which to build. This foundation of reading will allow us to accomplish many goals and ambitions we have for our lives.
