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 elementary school truly feels like a family, comprised of our staff and our 650 students, pre-k through fifth grade. Here in South Texas, along the US-Mexico border, a majority of our students are English learners and are economically disadvantaged.

My students are so thoughtful, creative, and resilient.

They love to read, and get excited about discovering new books. As the school librarian, I support all students and staff. I aim to make this year's library lessons powerful and engaging, as we return to in-person learning, with safety precautions in place.

My Project

Our students LOVE graphic novels! These books are engaging, offer a wide variety of vocabulary words, and spark our readers’ imaginations. This set will be a great addition to our library, for our students and teachers to check out. Since some books come with six copies, we could coordinate small book clubs it utilize the books to enhance classroom lessons. Third to fifth graders will be excited for the chance to read these graphic novels, and as long as students are encouraged to read books that interest them, we can help foster lifelong reading habits.
