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.
I am a social worker in a school district where the students are about 70% Hispanic and 64% low-income. The students that I have are dealing with a variety of issues ranging from divorce and gangs to disabilities such as autism and mental retardation.
I am starting some new bibliotherapy groups that would allow students to deal with their problems through the use of books. We will use books that discuss the same issues we are dealing with, and use ideas from the characters in the story to help ourselves cope. The problem I am faced with is not having any copies of the books I would like the students to read.
I need multiple copies of several different books so that the students will be able to read the books along with me in group. We also need some art supplies that will be used to make self-reflection projects in relation to the bibliotherapy groups.
Many of the students in my district do not have books in their homes. Many of them do not go home to households that most of us would condsider nurturing. They carry their own problems, as well as their family's, to school with them everyday and need an outlet or a way to cope. The bibliotherapy group is part of my solution to the problem. Please help me provide this opportunity to these kids.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
