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 Project

The children I teach are from historically underrepresented populations. They aspire to be leaders in their classrooms and one day in the greater world!

Each day they overcome societal obstacles, hold hope in their mind and hearts as they walk the pathway of becoming bi-literate, strive to be seen as capable and competent in the classroom, and learn to hold fast to their heritage.

Critical to this path is access to mentor texts as they grow their literate lives and learn the craft of writing through reading the work of expert authors. Please have a hand in connecting them to their literary mentors while they grow their literate lives!
