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

Did you know according the latest data from The National Assessment of Education Progess ( how we keep track of how US students are growing) US students scored lower on History proficiency than any other year since the testing began 25 years ago?

History and social studies is incredibly important to developing knowledgable, capable, empathetic and informed humans.

My 6th grade humans will be helping to shape US culture and policy in just a handful of years. So how do we engage and inspire our stduents to take an interest in social studies and history?

Hearing stories from history with nuance, drama, excitment, interest and everything else we love about books activates student interest and deepen student learning. Please help me start a library of fiction and nonficiton, high interest social studies and history books. I hope this will be the begiining of a robust tapestry of historical literature that 6th graders will be able to get lost in for years to come.
