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 Project

I am working to create the ultimate classroom library for my students. I teach high school english, along with AP Literature and am a strong advocate for reading. Students claim they don't like to read, when in fact, they just haven't met an author they truly connect with. The authors included are new additions that my students have asked me about. Help me continue to build a library that will reach even more students and allow them the opportunities to explore authors they may have never thought they would enjoy.
