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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

By providing books that resonate with their passions and curiosities, I strive to create an immersive literary environment where every student feels seen, valued, and excited to dive into the world of reading with books filled with diverse characters and experiences. These books will not only expand their vocabulary and comprehension skills but also nurture their love for storytelling and imagination.

My goals for this project extend far beyond simply stocking my classroom shelves; I aim to cultivate a vibrant reading culture where every student discovers the joy and empowerment that comes from getting lost in a book.

Through guided discussions, interactive activities, and shared reading experiences, I hope to foster a community of lifelong learners who approach each page with enthusiasm and curiosity.

What makes my students truly special is their remarkable diversity of backgrounds, experiences, and interests. From aspiring scientists to budding artists, each one brings a unique perspective to our classroom community. They are resilient, creative, and full of untapped potential, and I am committed to providing them with the tools and opportunities they need to thrive. With the support of high-interest books, I believe they will not only excel academically but also develop a deep appreciation for the transformative power of reading.
