My Project

Today our school was visited by Carolina Ixta, an alumna of our high school and a local teacher. Carolina's new book, "Shut Up, This is Serious," is a story that takes place in our community with characters that resemble my students.

My students are excited about the idea of reading a book that was written by a local woman, and a Latina writing about Latina students.

I will be adding these books to my classroom library and including it as an option in a free-choice reading project. This project is designed to get students excited about reading.
