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

My 7th grade students are open-minded and passionate about social justice. Our school does not have a formal library, and I have been working on building up our own classroom library. My students have expressed a mature awareness that many of our books are written at the Z+ level (that is, for high school reading level and beyond). As an English teacher, my most important job is to help unlock the world of literacy, and that is hard to do when the books I have to offer are frustratingly difficult or thematically beneath their interest. Based on student-request, we would like to fill our shelves with books with 7th-grade-relevant topics captured in a variety of text complexities so that all students have access to compelling stories.

With thoughtful book choices at their disposal paired with their personal readiness to grow their reading and writing​ skills this year, these kids will be unstoppable and totally ready for high school.

My Project

I work for a public project-based learning charter school, so connecting our school work to real-life is a vital part of what happens in the classroom. Currently, our class is studying decomposition and food preservation techniques to minimize the amount of food waste at our schools and homes.

With your help, we can purchase kits to grow oyster mushrooms in the classroom to study decomposition and we can purchase pickling kits to study food preservation techniques!

This is a great project to help students see science come alive. Can you help make that happen?
