Celebrating 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.
Our school is a Title 1 school located in the Cole neighborhood with 98% of students eligible to receive free or reduced lunch. Our student population is made up of black and Latino students, with 50% of students being English Learners. Our class has a wide variety of reading levels who need access to books.
Our scholars haven't had a consistent quality library for them to achieve the success they deserve.
Our goal as a school is to give all scholars the opportunity to thrive.
My Project
Our school unfortunately doesn't have a library. Over the years, our scholars have received secondhand books that have had multiple years of wear and tear. Having our very own classroom library will help us reach our goal of providing ALL kids with books at their level. The bundles of fiction and nonfiction will help engage lower level readers. The higher leveled books will enhance our on level readers to reach their maximum potential. Scholars will have the opportunity to love reading, which in turn will make them better learners. We thank you for giving our scholars a chance at life.
