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 Project

My students didn't read much last year. We are a Title I school and many of our students were not learning in ideal environments during the Covid pandemic. I teach English as a second language and my immigrant and refugee students felt the impact profoundly. They are behind in reading and have acute social and emotional needs.

I need a classroom library that represents their diverse backgrounds and experiences.

I have included many books on refugees and the immigrant experience. Also included are books about the LGBTQ community, books with strong Black, Asian and Latinx characters, and motivational books.
