Help me give my students the native language resources to build their literacy in their home languages, while expanding their understanding of literature and social issues.

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.
My Students
Our students are immigrants who have all recently arrived from over 40 different countries, speaking more than 20 different home languages! Many of them are eligible for free lunch and over 30% come to us with gaps of 2 or more years in their formal schooling, due to economic or social challenges in their home countries. Once in the United States, many students continue to work after school until late hours in order to support their families both here and back home. These children continue each and every arduous day with the single hope they've clung onto for years- that one day they'll be able to live the American dream.
Despite all challenges, I hope to bring our students to an intellectual and emotional space in which they can be free to challenge themselves (and each other!).
We become empowered learning about our differences and recognizing how we all are actually united in those very differences we possess.
My Project
Our class focuses on the issues that impact various parts of the world. Through these case studies, we are able to learn more about ourselves and our society.
Help us to give access to native language resources so that my students can develop their home language literacies while expanding their academic horizons.
Moreover, studies have shown that students who are able to read proficiently in their first languages can transfer those reading skills in order to better develop their literacies in other languages! We hope that providing out students with engaging texts will not only increase their awareness of the world, but also set a strong foundation for their English development.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
