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.

My Students

The students in our school community (grades 9-12) are wonderfully unique! They encompass a variety of backgrounds, beliefs, and ideas all of which help create a diverse learning environment.

Many of our students come from disadvantaged backgrounds and do not have access to the privileges that many teenagers take for granted.

Our students, like all students, deserve learning opportunities and access to information to help them become successful, contributing members of society. Our students are full of passion, energy, and excitement. They take pride in their successes, especially when overcoming obstacles.

My Project

The books chosen are intended to excite a diverse student audience. I wanted to choose multicultural characters and authors so my students can connect with what they are reading. I also chose books that are not typically listed on a curriculum to show students that reading can be engaging and fun!

The chairs will help create a cozy, comfortable atmosphere where students can simply read and relax without the constraints of schools desks.

I want students to be able to enjoy the experience of being lost in a book and all of the excitement and joys that come with it!

Grades 9-12
