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 scholars come from the Latinx community of East Los Angeles. Many of them are bilingual like their caregivers and community members. They are intelligent, kind, funny, and vibrant individuals who reflect the communal outlook on life that originates in their homes and heritage. Classroom libraries are a powerful way to help students build a strong literacy foundation and a love of reading, which our scholars are in the process of developing.

My Project

I have been building my classroom library for a few years, aiming to have high-interest and diverse books across reading levels. At this time, I only have about 10 books in Spanish and I'd like to be able to offer more to my students who are beginning learners of English but have 6th grade and above literacy in Spanish. One awesome thing is that I have all of these books in English, so students can read in Spanish and then aspire to read the English version as they learn more!

It's very important to me to support literacy and I believing being bilingual is a beautiful gift.

As someone who also speaks Spanish, I'm going to love connecting with students over these books and support their English language learning journey. Thank you for considering my wonderful bilingual readers and helping me to bring Spanish books to the classroom!
