¡Libros Por Favor! Books for Spanish Class

Help me give my students novice-level Spanish chapter books. These books are written to interest high schoolers, but at a reading level they can understand in Spanish. Also included are conversation games and yearbook class accessories.

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 Students

My students are amazing, resilient people who live in small rural community. Most of them have had to endure very challenging circumstances from a young age, and have not had an easy path to formal education. They inspire me to work harder each day.

Many of these students were homeschooled when they were younger, but in nearly all of those cases, their home education was severely lacking.

I have students who never went to school before 4th, 7th, or even 10th grade. Despite this, these students have worked incredibly hard to try and catch up to grade level, despite being many grade levels behind in their core subjects. I would love to provide supplies to make my classroom more conducive to their success.

My Project

I am very excited about getting my Spanish students reading these books. I think that students will be highly motivated to continue learning Spanish if they are able to read a whole novel by the end of Spanish 1. These books are specifically meant to challenge level 1 and 2 Spanish students, while still being at a level that they can read and understand.

Perhaps more importantly, these novels have Latinx protagonists or are set in a Latin American country, giving students the opportunity to learn about Latino culture and letting them see the world through a different lens.

I think that the most important thing that a student can come out of my class with is greater knowledge, understanding and empathy for people from different countries and cultures than them. The population of our school is very predominantly white, but the world is not. I want to give my students the opportunity to experience part of another culture, and books are a great way to explore experiences that are different to their own.

Finally, I have added some accessories for my yearbook class that will make it much easier for us to capture and use pictures showing the beautiful, unique school that I am lucky to teach at.
