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 the Library Media Specialist in a K-5 building, I am in the unique position to work with all students (and teachers!) in the building for several years. This comes with the pleasure of watching my students grow and learning what modalities they learn best with. My students come from very diverse backgrounds. They love reading diverse books, participating in maker space activities and STEM challenges, and are very curious. There are over 1,400 students in our school! I have a large population of English language learners, many who are new to the country. They are eager to learn and enjoy every minute of it. My students are both general and special education students. They are all amazing kids!

Takis are a favorite snack among our students.

Being able to have these available as a treat and reward for hard work is appreciated more than you know.
