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.
As the Library Media Technician, I serve over 400 elementary students and their families in a Title I, low socioeconomic school in Southern California. My students come from diverse backgrounds, variety of reading and learning abilities, and many face real-world life circumstances.
The students at my school are voracious readers!
They love learning through reading. They love the portal books provide to new worlds. They can't get enough of fiction and non-fiction books in our school library, whether they are in Kindergarten or they are in 5th grade.
My Project
Our school has launched our inaugural Battle of the Books for the 2018-2019 school year. Although I am able to supplement what I need from our class novel sets and library collection this year, I am still short some titles.
The reading program will not only increase excitement for reading, but our 4th and 5th graders will also gain sportsmanship and teamwork experience.
The students will test their knowledge of the books read through a "Family Feud" game format and compete against teams at another school.
My hope is to create a library that embraces collaboration and community while providing engaging literacy programs.
