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 teach a diverse group of 8th graders in Language Arts at a middle school in a semi-rural community. My students come from diverse countries and backgrounds; this tapestry of different experiences and cultures makes our student body interesting and charismatic. Many of my students also live in challenging economic conditions; nearly 70% of our students live at or below the poverty level. My 8th graders are hardworking, kind, and eager to learn; they have already shown a love for learning, and I want to provide the resources to enhance their learning experiences.

My Project

This project will provide new and diverse additions to my existing novels in verse classroom library collection. Students will read these books through the year as independent readers, reading partners, and book clubs.

These books will inspire both motivated and reluctant readers by exposing them to the genre of novels in verse, which is accessible yet challenging as the art of word choice in telling a story is incredibly important.

Whether reading a historical novel in verse, a memoir in verse, or a narrative in verse, this collection offers something for every reader!
