Celebrating 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.
I have the best job in the world because my students are absolutely amazing. Every day they surprise me and inspire me. I am an ESL teacher and most of my students are recent arrivals to the United States. Some are happy to be here, and others have a hard time because the choice was not theirs and they miss home.
They often have huge odds stacked up against them, yet they persevere, and do it with such big smiles on their faces.
Not a day goes by that they don't impress with me with their intelligence and determination.
My Project
This is such an important project. All of my students are new to this country. They do not have the English skills to read the books they are interested in, and the books they can read in English are too babyish. Portuguese language books are so hard to find. I'm blessed to have access to many Spanish books but Portuguese is another story, and more than half my caseload is Portuguese speaking. I want them to be able to continue reading at a level appropriate to them, and with interesting books they will really enjoy. It's critical to their development.
