Celebrating 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.
Give this project a boost!
A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
The students in my district are consistently eager to learn and enthusiastic about new and exciting learning opportunities, despite the challenges that they face outside of the classroom.
Our students live in an urban, low-income city comprised largely of hardworking immigrant families, many of whom speak a language other than English at home.
Our students and their families have been severely impacted by the pandemic; the impact extends beyond academics to social-emotional health and general well-being.
I am continually impressed by how the majority of our students approach challenges, both in and out of the classroom. Our students love to learn, they love to develop and apply new skills, and they are resilient.
Teaching and learning are constantly evolving—this year will be like no other, as we navigate the return to full in-person learning bring best practices from remote learning back into our classrooms and learning spaces, with a focus on SEL and personalized learning to meet every student's needs.
My Project
I am so excited to have moved into the role of library media specialist for my 18th year in education. Our amazing elementary complex library serves students in four schools! As I work to develop my vision of a 21st-century library media center and learning hub where students will collaborate and learn, I also need to update the materials and resources that students are accessing!
Students have been so excited to finally be back visiting the library—and checking out books this year—and not a day goes by when I do not get asked at least 5 times if I have gotten any new graphic novels yet.
Our collection is old, and very few new graphic novels have been purchased over the past several years. These are the books students are asking for--that they WANT to read--and so it is essential that we have them available ASAP! The books on the list I am requesting will kick-start our library update and our graphic novel collection with the books that students are asking for!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
