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 Project

Our students love to learn, they love to develop and apply new skills, and they are resilient. We are an urban, low-income district, and our families are mostly hardworking immigrant families, many of whom speak a language other than English at home.

The books I am requesting are picture books with favorite characters for Winter and Winter Holidays, that students will love to read in our elementary library media center!

Our library collection needs to include books that students want to read, with characters that they are familiar and comfortable with, especially for our emerging readers who are developing their love of reading, and our struggling readers, who are motivated when they find a book that is familiar and feels safe. It's so important for students to have access to the books that they want to read, to keep them motivated and foster their love of reading!

Our amazing elementary complex library serves 2000+ students in four schools, and as I continue to cultivate it into a 21st century library media center and learning hub where students can collaborate and learn, I am constantly working to update the materials and resources that students are accessing!
