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 are sixth, seventh, and eighth-graders at an urban bilingual school. My school is a special place and a community. Teachers and students alike are happy to be in school and are excited and eager to learn.
They love reading and discussing books!
My Project
I am always looking to have a variety of independent reading books in my classroom. I hear about so many great new young adult books every year, and it is important to keep my shelves updated.
With the possibility of blended online/in-person learning looming for the fall, I want to make sure I have a variety of engaging books, both in terms of reading level and content.
In this project, I chose a variety of book types, including black, Muslim, Native American, Asian, Latino, and LGBTQ protagonists. I always want to make sure that my classroom library both reflects my student population, and provides windows to worlds they know less about.
More than half of students from low‑income households
