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
Before you walk into my school, you may see on paper that we are a Title I school with a majority of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
We've struggled through Hurricane Harvey and Covid-19 and have limited resources for our students.
However, what you will see in person is a dynamic group of young, driven leaders, who through "The Leader in Me" process are making their mark in our world. We are a Lighthouse Leader in Me/Magnet Fine Arts school, which has helped transform all of our students into global thinkers who believe they have a chance in life.
My Project
After suffering through the pandemic and learning from home, some students have returned to the school. Most have gone months without a physical book in their hands. Students have always enjoyed fiction novels and they are usually much easier for students to comprehend.
This fiction set will allow students high-interest opportunities to fall in love with reading.
Students will be able to reflect on their own identity. These books will help the diverse readers in my class. It will push higher readers to create and still help struggling students comprehend each picture.
Nearly all 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
