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

Reading is an essential skill children must learn in order to become successful at school. In order to motivate and encourage students to keep reading everyday, they must have the option to choose books that they have an interest in reading about.

These books will provide my students with an increased number of different books that they can choose from and be able to read independently.

In addition, these books will also give my students new, exciting and engaging texts to access from our classroom library. This will help instill a lifelong love of reading for my fourth grade students.

Thank you in advance for your generosity.
