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 students constantly defy society's expectations of them. Most of them go home every day to stressful situations and poverty. But when they come to school, they are filled with joy. They love to laugh, participate in lessons, and grow as students.

These kids stay engaged in learning, even with all the struggles they are facing outside of school.

Every day I am amazed by their persistent nature. I truly believe each of them can do anything they set their mind to. I am just here to help them realize that.

My Project

Ever since I started teaching, I have read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone with my students. For this project, I'm asking for enough copies of this magical book so that my students can each read along with me. I read the book towards the end of the school year. And on the last day of the year, the room is transformed into Hogwarts. Students come in to the classroom and have a chance to live through some of the activities they read about in the book.

Harry Potter was the book that made me crave more books- and I want my students to be put under that spell as well!

Actually having the book and seeing the words come to life would cement a love for not only this series, but for reading!
