Mrs. B. from Imperial Beach CA is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

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 students are as diverse as America and share a common goal to become high school graduates, despite the challenges they may have had in prior experiences. Our students are looking for a second chance to earn their high school diploma. They come to our school for different reasons. Some dropped out of their previous school, but soon realized they need an education. Some had a transient home life that caused them to move from school to school. Others are refugees. Though they all come to us under different circumstances, they all share the common desire to walk across the stage as graduates.

My Project

My students love to learn and take particular interest in social justice. We cover the Civil Rights Movement through old textbooks, but I would like to connect this to current events while also encouraging literacy, and The Hate U Give serves this purposed perfectly.

My students are resilient and all have a voice, but are afraid to use it.

This book will help teach them about social justice and the possibilities for young people to make a difference. I want to give them the opportunity to experience this empowering story from Angie Thomas.

Please consider giving my students access to a novel that is engaging, relatable, and empowering.
