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.
My Students
My 6th grade students are on a Dual Language Immersion journey, most of them have been since the beginning of their academic career. The majority of the student population are POC and come from great academic need. They are kind, they are brilliant, they are multilingual, and they're working their hardest throughout a global pandemic that has shaken up their sense of normalcy. I couldn't have done what they're doing; they're some of the strongest tiny humans I know. They smile, they laugh, they try, and they just keep going. And they need all we can give them because in truth, they deserve more.
My Project
As a 6th Grade Dual Language Immersion Teacher, the journey of growing, learning, and developing bilingual and biliterate minds in never ending! Now that we are returning to in-person learning, I'd like to help build up my library from scratch and give these children the opportunity to see and recognize themselves in our book clubs. With these guided reading texts in Spanish, they'll be able to do just that, and they'll be able finally look through the world of literature with a mirror (seeing a reflection of themselves) versus just looking through a window (witnessing experiences outside of their own).
