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

My students are a resilient group of young people. They are strong advocates and facilitators of their learning. Together we are cultivating an equitable learning environment where everyone is a teacher and everyone is learner.

Every day we are one step closer!

My Project

I teach 3 classes of Culturally Responsive English 9 and this school year we will be reading Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe is a coming-of-age novel by Benjamin Alire Saenz. This project will give each student their own copy of the novel to take home after school and over the weekend. Students will no longer need to share resources between classes and peers.

This project will provide each student with their own copy!

The central themes of the novel include the transition from friendship to romance, exploring one's identity, and family.

Aristotle and Dante are both Latinx youth that uncover and explore the beauty of life, friendship, and being yourself. Many 14 and 15-year-olds, who this book will reach, will be working to understand all aspects of their identity. Understanding one's self and becoming who you want to be, is part of growing up.

LGBTQIA+ literature is crucial in the classroom. We hope this will be the first of many projects that will bring life into our classroom and curriculum. With this project, each student will be able to have their own copy of the book to explore.
