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 Project

My students are brilliant and vibrant scholars who enjoy reading and have developed a love for literacy and the written word. With this project, they will be provided amazing biographies that have used their voices to make a difference. They will be empowered to voice the men and women from all walks of life that left an impact on our society. They are socially aware and hopeful of the future. They are resilient and have risen to our current events.

The books that have been requested are a collection of books that have diversity and representation at their core.

My students, primarily, Latino, Filipino, and Black will feel validated and their experiences will be reflected in the works that have been selected for our classroom library. Representation is key and seeing main characters that have similar viewpoints characteristics and shared experiences will engage and motivate them to engage with literature. Making literature relevant through the words of the contemporary writer is important to nourish the love for reading and foment a lifetime practice.
