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.
Our school is an application school for students who live in Oklahoma City. Our diverse student body is made up of children from neighborhoods across the city. All students come with unique backgrounds and experiences, but with the commonality that each student made a conscious choice to be Belle Isle Bull!
My Project
My project centers on the premise that we all tend to gravitate towards reading material that we know the best, whether that might be historical fiction, fantasy, graphic novels, the newspaper, etc.
In light of COVID-19 and students spending several days learning from home, I want to capitalize on having them back in the classroom to expose students to all kinds of genres, with the idea of expanding their ideas of reading, as well as hopefully the benefit of seeing themselves in some of these diverse books.
