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 STEM high school is a 100% free and reduced-price lunch charter school in Kansas City, Missouri. Our student population, a mixed demographic of primarily Hispanic, Somali, and African American students, is over 50% ESL. Many of these students have experienced trauma and/or grown up in families where their most basic needs are often unmet.
Reading outside of assigned work is a challenge for our high school students.
Providing them with great young adult literature that reflects their experiences, understand the experiences of others, and see the "what if" possibilities of the future is vital to encouraging and developing them to become enthusiastic life long readers.
My Project
Although we would love for our students to read books that challenge them in a variety of ways all the time, sometimes they just want to read for fun. And reading should be fun!
Let's provide my students with books they will check out frequently and read for pleasure.
My Manga section is by far the most popular genre in the library. Not all my students are great readers and the ones that are often like to take a break from the challenging texts they read in class and even on their own
