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 students are thoughtful, inquisitive, and very creative. They are critical thinkers.

My students are part of the pilot class at a public art magnet elementary school.

They have embraced the opportunity to analyze and create art as part of many units of study, integrated across all core subjects.

My Project

These texts will contribute to a diverse, inspiring classroom library that will support students' literacy. The books in this selection span several reading levels. These titles touch on social issues that I think are important to address in a 4th grade classroom and feature protagonists from diverse backgrounds. I will read some of these texts aloud to my students in person and during online instruction. All of these texts will be displayed in my classroom library when we return to in-person learning. Students will be able to select books from the library to read.
