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

Our school is in a high needs district, with over 90% of our students receiving free and reduced-price lunch. Our school goes above and beyond to place our students the center of all of our work.

My middle school students want to find themselves in the books they read, and we need to have more diverse books on our shelves.

We need books that are by diverse authors about diverse characters so that my students have books that are mirrors and windows.

My Project

My students are eager to read books that deal with issues that they find relevant to their lives. They want to explore identity and read books with believable characters who also look like them.

We need more diverse books on our shelves, and these books look great to us!

My students not only want to read books with characters who look like they do, but are also written by authors of color. Representation is important, and there are many new and exciting young adult books that are available for my students. We need to have greater access to these books and authors, and bring them into our classroom.
