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.
My Project
I’ve set out on a mission to build an expansive, inclusive class library that our 5th graders will fall in love with. My goal is for them to see both books they are familiar with (like "Dogman", "Spiderwick", and "Raven's Pass") and less common titles that reflect the world around them and parts of our expansive world that may be new to them. This project will have several chapters to it!
This first chapter is the beginning of building a thorough and thoughtful library.
It includes popular fiction that our students have historically fallen in love with, as well as stories that build kind and compassionate humans.
When the library of dreams is complete, there will be history and mythology, fantasy and school yard hijinks, mystery and graphic novels… and classic chapter books that have already solidified generations of readers. I am working to have stories from BIPOC and Latinx voices that reflect the world we live in and our students' own experiences. It will build curiosity, compassion, and confidence in their ability to make a world they will be proud of.
Together, we can build a nation of readers and thinkers.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
