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 Project

As a literature teacher and proud coach of the five-time league champions, our girls soccer team, I strive to teach my students how to become independent learners, selfless citizens, and empathetic beings. I believe that all of my students have the ability and potential to find success in whatever form it may look like for them respectively. My goal is to help my students embrace, accept, and manifest their potential, for the only force that can prevent us from flourishing is complacency.

These books will give our aspiring AP Literature students a wider selection of books to prepare them for their tests.
