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 three dozen spunky fifth graders are a diverse group of young scholars with a wide range of interests. They are motivated to succeed and eager to learn about the world around them.
Despite the negativity they may hear, my students embrace their diverse backgrounds and see their cultural heritages as strengths.
They are eager to learn more about role models and heroes that reflect their backgrounds.
We are a title 1 school in eastern Las Vegas. Our classroom welcomes a plethora of different types of learners and embraces all.
My Project
I am requesting thirty five books that celebrate African American and Latino cultures. I am requesting books that celebrate scientists and female pioneers. I am also requesting books to inspire and empower my diverse student learners.
By filling our classroom with books featuring role models from all backgrounds, I want to inspire the next round of scientists, doctors, architects, lawyers, artists, humanitarians, and thinkers.
My students are diverse and need literature that celebrates their backgrounds.
While the current political climate may send messages of prejudice, my classroom will display the opposite. All my students, regardless of race or cultural background, are accepted and challenged to succeed. Help me fill my library with books that celebrate our differences.
