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 teach a spirited bunch of sprightly sprats who are inquisitively energetic learners, and many are not native speakers of English.

My students are inquisitive, energetic, eclectic, global learners.

Pre-existing lower-income and socio-economic demographics are considerably aggravated by language and cultural barriers. Nevertheless, students are eager to learn and divest themselves of previous woes. This funding opportunity will help supply some resources and bolster equitable access to education that connects them to a global community of learners free from linguistic barriers.

As a dedicated, technology-oriented educator, I merely seek resources to support students in such a direction to diverse the learning process and opportunities.

My Project

Our students are eager to read, discuss, and engage with a diverse array of young-adult literature that reflects the struggles, emotions, and narratives that make up the world around them. Our kids enjoy, and prefer, having tangible print books that they can read.

This project encourages students to read about many stories and narratives that they can hold in the palm of their hands; gets them off of their phones and social media; and portrays a well-formed perspective of their contemporary world.

Thank you for supporting and encouraging our students' freedom in books.

Grades 9-12
