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

When you are one of our students, you are part of the family. Our school has a tradition of pride and excellence as well as a tight-knit community. Our students love to participate in learning opportunities of all kinds--especially reading experiences that deepen their knowledge and connect them with others, their community, and with history. Our students are in two categories: voracious readers or future voracious readers. Our reading community efforts are literacy-centered, service-centered, or designed to enrich course work such as reading sets of books in a group so they can enjoy these books together.

My Project

If our project is funded, we will have the opportunity to incorporate art and creativity into literacy based learning. As a group, we will read culturally relevant books and poetry from our national book club, Project Lit Community.

The books and poetry will focus on self identity in relationship to culture, nationality and ethnicity combined with a social justice lens.

We plan to partner with local art-based groups to enrich our students' experience as well as connect them to further art based programs they can extend their learning with after our project has been completed.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
