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 serve high school students in Las Vegas, Nevada. They are brilliant scholars who deserve a chance to delve into quality literature. In the past, they haven't had access to books that reflect their experiences while also challenging their thinking. Many of them haven't had opportunities to choose their own books in school. Rather, those books were chosen for them, books that weren't engaging or accessible and led them to dislike reading. I strongly believe that if I put the absolute best texts in front of them, they will develop a love for reading that will ultimately lead to their success in the classroom and beyond.

These students defy the odds every day.

In spite of a global pandemic, they still have a love for reading. These books will help them fill the gaps that have developed while they were out of school for over a year. Impossible is not. They are proof that sheer will and determination can transform your life. They believe they can, so they will.

My Project

These books will help me build a culturally responsive classroom library full of books that promote reading growth. My students were out of the building for over a year due to COVID and while some of them read at home, many of them didn't have access to literature. These books will help them build better reading habits. Students are more likely to read books that they can relate to, books that speak to the world around them. The ones on the list do just that. Please help me bring books and the love of reading back into my students' lives.
