Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

My students are amazingly resilient in spite of the challenges they face on a daily basis. They want to learn and are working to overcome the adverse effects of systemic racism and low socioeconomic status. They have tremendous potential and are met with many obstacles, which are exacerbated by the current Covid-19 Pandemic.

My Project

These book sets will help my students acquire Spanish language, improve literacy and expose them to Hispanic culture as well as learn about biology in the Rainforest. The books "El Capibara con botas" and "El escape cubano" (The Capybara with Boots, and The Cuban Escape) integrate high repetitions of key vocabulary structures in stories that also teach students about the flora and fauna of the rainforest, as well as a gripping story centered around Cuba and the theme of immigration. These books will give my students an authentic venue to learn and use Spanish while also learning about other themes.
