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
The students at our school are amazing! They are excited about learning and the school environment fosters their desire to explore, experiment and take risks! When you enter the building you can feel the sense of pride that everyone from the students, to the teachers, administration, staff, and volunteers has for this very special place.
We are in an especially inclusive neighborhood that appeals to many new immigrant families.
Our school is diverse in all possible ways- from the languages spoken at home to the arts and culture that each family brings. We are so lucky to have this diversity as well as the varied learning styles our students have and as a barrier-free school, every child can thrive!
My Project
This project stems from my desire to provide my students with read alouds that highlight characters that my students can connect to. As a child reading books, I never felt that any of the characters looked like me. I am half Haitian and half Italian and biracial characters could not be found in any of the books that I read.
Please help me to put books into the hands of my students, books that provide them to real connections to the characters they read about.
Books that teach them that they can achieve any goal that they set their mind and hearts towards achieving.
