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.

Reading is the key that opens a child's mind and expands his/her knowledge. I am the Media Specialist in a small school located in upstate South Carolina. This school has Title I status and a high minority population. Part A of this project will impact every student in K-4 through 2nd grade because I will personally read aloud each book as well as provide students the opportunity to check the books out and take them home to share with family and friends. I will also prepare multi-sensory classroom activities that allow students to experience the books through the use of higher order thinking skills. The books for this promotion are selected by the SC Book Award Committee. After reading the books, students will be "registered to vote" for their favorite book at a SC Book Award Celebration to be held at the school in February. This celebration will include snacks and book discussions as well as a time for students to cast their vote. The need for books and reading promotions in this school and its surrounding community is serious with the school wide reading proficiency at 43.7%. Therefore my goal is to use a voting theme in conjunction with the national election along with this reading promotion to encourage students to read and exercise their right to vote. Your help will ensure that my students are encouraged to read and experience the voting process including registering to vote and voicing opinions about their favorite books. Your support will assist my students in gaining a broader understanding of the election process as they participate in the state wide vote and see the impact of their vote at the state level. By participating in the statewide voting process, students learn the importance of becoming an active participant in the political process and realize the importance of being a responsible citizen in the future. In order to participate in this state wide reading/voting process, the media center needs at least one copy of each picture book on the SC Book Award Nominee list and a tabletop display rack that will be used to display and promote the books.
