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

Teaching is my passion; next year will be my fourth-year teaching 5th graders and I absolutely love it!

This project is all about saying goodbye and celebrating with my current students and welcoming my new stars next school year with open arms and some interesting books and prizes!

My students enjoy getting new knowledge from a nonfiction book or to get lost in a riveting story. Whatever their interests and reading levels, my goal is for them to love reading, have fun, and learn. Thank you for making this possible. Our kids are the future, we are entrusting them our world by nurturing their hearts and minds every day.

Mrs. Herrera
Grades 3-5
