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 thoughtful, inquisitive, and very creative. They are critical thinkers.

My students are part of the pilot class at a public art magnet elementary school.

They have embraced the opportunity to analyze and create art as part of many units of study, integrated across all core subjects.

My Project

These books that I have requested will contribute to a diverse, inspiring classroom library that will support my students' literacy. I will read some of these texts aloud to my students and pull passages from others for them to read and discuss in small groups. All of these books will be displayed in my classroom library when we return to in-person learning. Students will be able to select books from the library to revisit on their own time.

This selection includes anthologies of Maya Angelou's and Langston Hughes's poems as well as a Tongva wordbook.

It also includes copies of the novel Island of the Blue Dolphins, by Scott O'Dell, which we will read and analyze together. This selection will help enrich our class's social studies and literature curricula.
