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

Our 7th grade students are fabulous! Despite their economic challenges and language barriers, they provide continuous inspiration to their teachers. Their joy is contagious and we are thankful to facilitate as we learn beside them.

With schools and libraries closed, our students do not have access to books.

We realize books are something that can be enjoyed by the reader and then shared to others. They can also be a source of conversations and worldview changes. A third of our 7th grade population will benefit from this DonorsChoose; however, the impact of having access to books in their neighborhoods will reach many more!

My Project

I envision my students using the books as a way to practice their literacy skills. They will also be learning strong social and emotional skills through the books I have chosen. When students see how what they learn is applicable in real life, they tend to make more connections. Real life concepts not only allow students to make connections to their lives, but also gives them tools to be successful later in life.

This is a great opportunity for our students to learn reading is an escape into something different.

This is when they realize the power of their dreams.
