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 am a teacher in a Title l public school in Harlem. There is one general education class and there are two special education classes per grade, and many of our students are second language learners. I have been teaching at my school for 17 years. Last year I became the science teacher.

I am trying to make every student realize the magnitude of the world of science and to find what excites each of them.

Over the past year and a half, more and more of the students are wanting to spend more time in the science room, borrowing books and/or wanting to learn more about the materials in the classroom.

My Project

My students want to learn! Last year I started a Science Lending Library for the students in 3rd - 5th grade. Six students participated. This year, over 30 students have joined and they are taking new books each week! This is all voluntary and after school!

At this rate, I am concerned that the children in 3rd grade will run out of new books and lose interest.

A 4th grade student introduced me to the Max Axiom books last year and I bought a few for the Lending Library. They have been extremely popular books to take out since the first day! Who knows how many more children will join the Science Lending Library once the word gets out that I have more of the Max Axiom books!
