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

Our young ladies are dedicated to their education as well as thought-provoking conversations pertaining to their lives and literature. They are able to see themselves or someone they know in the book characters. With every book club meeting, the group is able to encourage one another as well as learn something new.

These Black and Brown young ladies are producing a counter-narrative of how success and enthusiasm are defined for students of color.

The Black and Brown girls of the book club embody the commitment needed for change to occur. The buzz they have created amongst their peers about the book club is one an educator dreams of in their career.

My Project

The titles included for this project will continue to promote rich discussions within the book club as well as empower girls to search for literature that challenges the status quo. The young ladies can identify with many of the characters in each of the selected text.

Each title brings each young lady closer to seeing literature as a way to explore new ideas and examine familiar situations from a new lens.

Reading is such a powerful tool. To have our young ladies excited about reading and receiving new books displays what can happen once a student receives a "just right book."
