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 Students
My students come from the Southeast side of Chicago and many are from immigrant families. Almost 90% are low-income. My school is a PreK-8 building comprising around 850 students in total. The demographics are 95% Latino, 3% African-American and 2% white. All of our families are hard-working, blue-collar and proud.
Even though they might not have much, our parents push their children to work hard and make a better life for themselves.
They want their kids to grow and succeed.
My Project
My students need access to great literature and their own copy of what we are reading. They want texts that they can easily see themselves in. This is one of those texts.
Please help give my students their very own copy of Touching Spirit Bear.
Each student should have their own copy of the text we are reading. Your donation will help to see this through for our class. My hope is that this text will help foster a deep love reading. Please help support my students and give them a great book to read.
More than half of 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
