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.
When you are one of our students, you are part of the family. Our school has a tradition of pride and excellence as well as a tight-knit community. Our students love to participate in learning opportunities of all kinds--especially reading experiences that deepen their knowledge and connect them with others, their community, and with history.
Our students are in two categories: voracious readers or future voracious readers.
Our community efforts are often literacy-centered, service-centered, or designed to enrich their academic curiosities and course work such as exploration, clubs, or reading in a group so they can enjoy and learn together. Our students have enjoyed multiple monthly book clubs, which have both motivated and propelled reading. Our students love to read, discuss books and current events, meet authors and come out to author visits both in person and virtual. Right now, virtual meetings are our only option. But we will take it!
My Project
We loaded up our students' arms with books on March 13, 2020 as we closed our school's doors for an indefinite amount of time. Little did we know that in the time between that day and the day we opened back up students would graduate, move away and for various reasons be unable to return their library books.
With this project, we will replace many books that did not and will not return to our school library.
We filled up this list with books we need and want to replace and will hope to have ready and waiting for students when we open up our school's library doors.
