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 almost 500 students are culturally, ethnically, and academically diverse, coming from all walks of life. Many of the students I work with come from non-native English speaking families and a great number of students in our school come from low-income neighborhoods. I work with students with Autism, students who have learning disabilities and various other difficulties that affect their learning. Despite all the facts listed above, my students are eager to come to school, are motivated and hardworking. They persist through their struggles and many overcome them to make personal growth. They truly have enriched both my career, and my life, and I strive to do the same for them.

My Project

I am in my 3rd year working in my elementary school library. I am slowly trying to improve the collection by weeding old, dated and falling apart books and replacing them with high interest and quality literature. Unfortunately, the book budget cannot keep up with student demand for certain series.

Every day I have to tell students that I do not have the books they really want, such as Dog Man and Babysitter’s Club Graphic Novels.

It is heartbreaking to watch the excitement leave their faces and watch them settle for something else to check out. The books I am requesting will help me reduce these experiences, continue to build a strong, current collection and enable to students to develop a genuine love of reading. Graphic novels are particularly motivating for both the reluctant readers and avid readers alike!
