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

My students are the best! They are smart, inquisitive, creative, resourceful and kind. They come from a range of cultural and ethnic backgrounds, speak multiple languages and all live in the south Bronx. They are in grades 6-12 at a public middle and high school founded on the belief that our students will become scholar activists who go out and change the world.

Some of them love to read and some of them aren't quite there yet.

(We believe that's because they have yet to find the right book.) This project will get them exposed to rich literature and on track towards loving reading.

My Project

This year our school joined the national a BookClub movement where we come together every few months to read and discuss culturally-relevant young adult literature. We created Project LIT Bronx and had our first book club in November of 2017. That book club included middle and high school students and teachers, our local teen librarian, and even an alumni of our school. We enjoyed that discussion so much that we decided to read a book a month and have already chosen the titles for January and February. We just got our January book Donors Choose project fully funded and we're looking to get a head start on our February book club choice of The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas.

Our community book club provides a space for students from 6-12th grade to come together with their families, community members, and school staff to read and discuss important issues.
