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 creative, thoughtful and full of questions! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically.

My Project

Our school has been pushing independent reading for students. I want to remind students that reading is an important skill and a great hobby to have, I teach mostly math classes, but I want to have a classroom library for students to browse when they finish tests early or for when they need a new book. The more places books are available to them the more likely they are to pick one up and read it.

Your donation would go a long way toward ensuring my middle schoolers become lifelong readers.

While our school has a library and books available through a mandated curriculum, we don't have a librarian to keep our schoolwide library up-to-date and our curriculum provided books are not always fully embraced by our students. I have curated a wish list of books that are in the subject areas that interest my kids, that reflect their racially and ethnically diverse backgrounds, and that are published recently and plugged into current trends to catch our savvy middle schoolers' eyes. Help me make this dream come true to start our COVID recovery year off strong!
