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

Welcome to Ms. Lloyd's Laboratory! My students come from all over Los Angeles, most are from low-income areas, and all of them are creative, active learners who are naturally curious about the world around them. My job is to give them the tools they need not just to be successful science students, but to be critical consumers of information.

Our school believes that when we nurture curiosity, we can expect creativity!

What I love about my students is the energy they bring to the classroom each day. In our classroom, it's not uncommon to see students applauding each other, and cheering each other on as we work through assignments and activities in class. Teaching 7th graders is no easy task, but my students get me through it by making me laugh and smile every single day.

My Project

These books will make a huge difference for learners at all levels in my classroom. Many of my students are at various stages in their English language development, and having bilingual books in the classroom encourage them to read and engage with science content.

It's important for my students to see characters in books that look like them, so that they can start envisioning their future now.

The English-only books on this list are written specifically for students of color who may not see many examples of famous scientists who look like them. These books will change their perceptions and encourage them to dream big and reach for the stars (sometimes literally)!
