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

Hi! I'm Mrs. Norman and I have 17 years of classroom teaching experience. This upcoming school year, I will be the new Library Media Specialist at our school. I cannot wait to share my love of literacy and learning with the students and staff at my new school! Every May, students get to choose a new-to-them book to take home and keep. These books are donated by other students, teachers, and staff members. With almost 400 students and 75% qualified as low-income, we do not have enough books for every child to receive one this next school year. At our school, we also have a large number of students who speak Spanish.

I have put together this mix of graphic novels, popular titles, and classic books that I know our students will enjoy reading.

My goal is to provide much-needed reading material for our Spanish-speaking students that will help improve their vocabulary and reading skills. Your donations will not only encourage reading, but they will also allow an important group of our student population to feel represented.
