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

Many of the students at the Title I school where I work at have limited access to books, technology, and digital resources at home; but through the school library, they have access to many books, eBooks, and online databases. These students come from diverse backgrounds, and some of the families are faced with the daily struggle to meet the family's basic needs.

As the school librarian, I want to get the students excited about reading and using technology in the library.

By giving students access to books and technology in the library, I hope to encourage the students to become lifelong learners and readers.

My Project

My students have a extremely limited access to books outside of school. There is not a public library or a bookstore located within our school district. Our school library has a good but limited selection of many popular titles such as Babymouse, Squish, and Dragonbreath. These books will also help students increase vocabulary, comprehension skills, and fluency rates.

A donation to this project will enable me to put books into my students' hands, hearts, and homes.

I am requesting titles like Princess in Black and Ricky Ricotta’s Mighty Robot, so that students will be able to take the books home and share their love of reading with their families.
