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

Despite going through a pandemic, my English scholars amaze me everyday with their intelligence, perseverance, and hard work within their Watts community.

Being a part of a historically underfunded community, the bright smiles I see when I talk about bringing in new books or their future career interests, demonstrates the great need in resources these children need in order to succeed in their education.

My Project

All of my students have trouble affording physical books of their own. Some of them haven't read a book in a couple of years. To add on, books will make a difference in my students' learning by advancing their vocabulary and English comprehension skills at home.

Between the ages of 11-13 years old, reading is KEY in growing their minds and education.

We will be using the books they read for students to complete book reports and summaries every week. By showing their understanding of main ideas and topics from their literature books, they will improve their reading skills which advances their opportunities to move forward in their educational journeys.
