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
Our school is located in the historic East End of Houston where the culture is rich and the roots run deep. We have students from many different backgrounds who hail from all over the surrounding areas to attend our STEM program with a biotech/neuroscience focus. The future of medicine is quite literally in our classrooms.
Our students are creative, active, and excited to learn new things.
As a campus, we strive to create a school where students with many different interests can flourish and excel.
My Project
Research shows that when children are able to choose the books they read, they are more likely to finish them and read more. Over the past year and a half, I've been working on collecting books for our Literacy Room "library."
My goal is to build a diverse, well-rounded collection that will appeal to all students at our school.
Through library funds from our school budget, adding books from my own classroom library, and several Donors Choose projects, I've been able to get a good head start.
Our school doesn't have an actual library. These books will be available to all students in order to grow their love of reading. In addition, teachers will be able to use the books as well to supplement their lessons.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
