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.
As the librarian of a vocational high school, I have been collaborating with the Early Childhood & Care program to bring preschoolers to the library for read alouds. To develop the collaboration further, we'd like to receive picture books to house in the library, so that EEC students can read books to preschoolers during and after read alouds, and so that preschoolers may check out books to take back to the classroom.
We know this project will enhance preschoolers' early literacy skills, like print awareness and print motivation, to develop a lifelong love of reading and enjoyment of using the library.
In addition, this project will give EEC students the hands-on practice to teach early literacy skills and be effective educators.
EEC students are requesting tactile, interactive, colorful books for their preschool students, in addition to books that provide opportunities for movement, because their students have lots of energy! Lastly, they'd like books that help preschoolers to develop social emotional skills.
In sum, many of the books we are requesting come from multicultural book award lists which reflect the diverse makeup of the preschoolers, EEC students, and the student body overall which have the potential to be mirrors, windows and sliding glass doors for all who read them.
