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

For the past several years I have been an avid supporter of my students self selecting the majority of their reading because when they learn to choose for themselves and read what interests them, they become readers. And reading supports all of learning.

There is often an assumption that teens don't read, but my students do.

My students are pretty incredible young people. We read in class every day and having a small classroom library in my room has been the number one asset to their reading. Sometimes the hardest part is just finding what interests them. However, when I am able to offer what they are looking for, they will pick up a book, and....read it! I also encourage them to explore a variety of genres throughout the year.

The past 2-3 years they have especially wanted to read romance and thriller/ murder mystery books. I cannot keep the murder mysteries on the shelves!! Through generous donations last year, I was able to offer a small assortment of this genre, but this year I need to grow and replenish. That said, there are books on this list for all the genres, so there's refresh across the options. So, it is time to ask for help in filling these gaps so my students have what they want to read.

Reading for pleasure, for joy, for community, or for introspection are all reasons to become life long readers, but students do not get that experience when they only read cannon assigned books in English class. My goal is to grow readers because there is so much that can come from reading a book. Please help support this journey!
