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

Our students are kind, unique, courageous, and passionate about learning about themselves, each other, and the world around them.

About 40% of our students know at least two or three languages and are resilient, excited learners who look forward to being part of our school family on a daily basis.

And about 85% receive free or reduced-price lunch.

Part of looking like and feeling like a family is taking care of one another's needs—so we are starting a donation closet!

My Project

About half of my students come from households that speak multiple languages and come from a variety of continues.

Students deserve to see themselves in, and relate to the characters in stories - and it is our job to make sure that happens.

I want to built and diversify the library that students have to choose from, as well as the books that I have access to so that my students feel a stronger connection to what they are learning. One way that I can support that connection is by intentionally choosing read aloud materials that students can relate to and see themselves in.
