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 are inquisitive, engaging fourth graders. They are curious students who love to ask questions and extend their learning. Our classroom is a warm and welcoming community of learners. These amazing young people bring their cultural backgrounds into our class of learners to create a diverse classroom community.
Our 3rd through 8th graders and their families choose to attend this school to be a part of our wonderful, small school learning environment.
I teach at a public magnet school with less than 400 students in 3rd-8th grades, which provides a unique opportunity for upper elementary and middle school students to share the same campus and school community. As a school of choice instead of a neighborhood zoned school, we have students enrolled from throughout the district's different school zones.
My Project
I am requesting a selection of hand-picked books to diversify our classroom library and provide more choice for my students. My students are not all the same, and neither are these books! In honor of Women's History Month, this project focuses on books with female protagonists. My students, and especially my female students, need to see the amazing things the women who came before them have accomplished.
My students will be able to read about real women and their careers and accomplishments, including Maya the architect, Amalia the dancer, Harper the writer, Eugenie the scientist, and many more.
In recent years, the availability of quality nonfiction picture books has greatly improved, and I want to provide more of those books for my students. The titles listed here are about real women and girls to provide book choices for my students to help them learn to dream big and imagine the possibilities for their future.
