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

I am currently in charge of 4 classes of wonderful 10th grade students. They all have academic curiosity and often express interest and enthusiasm in the many themes, topics, and lessons we cover in our English class.

My students are avid learners who often challenge themselves and their classmates in academic environments.

From getting to know these wonderful students, I am aware of their social and economic backgrounds. The majority of my students come from low-income backgrounds, are bilingual learners, and are first-generation sons/daughters of immigrant parents. Thus, they benefit from inclusive curriculum that supports their needs and books that reflect their own economic and cultural background.

My Project

At the moment my students are limited in the choices our school library offers in regards to diverse young adult literature. Additionally, public libraries outside of the school are sometimes not accessible to all of my students. For that reason, building a classroom library with diverse books that are high interest to my students can provide both the access and generate a love for reading. This class set will be shared between 5 classes ranging from 25-30 students so everyone would be able to get the opportunity to utilize the classroom library.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
