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

I teach high school at an independent study charter school. Our mission and vision are for students to take ownership or their own learning and to be life-long learners. We do this through personalized learning, using the community as the classroom, and flexible learning.

My students come to our school because the traditional public school was not meeting their needs.

By coming to our school, they have opportunities to take college classes and have an internship. Our classroom is really like a family!

My Project

These books will continue to add to my classroom library to supplement our textbook. I really want to add books to our library specifically about the Holocaust. My class will be taking a field trip to the Holocaust Museum soon and will be studying the Holocaust at the same time.

The books from this project will help my students understand how the Holocaust impacted people and they will bring the history alive.

Through the use of these books, my students can connect with the lives of everyday people who experienced this horrific time in history. My hope is for students to connect with the content and transfer what they learn to their everyday lives and interactions.
