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

Would like to build a library with different grade levels since all our student read at a different level. Having a variety of levels will help to make every student comfortable at picking a book that they can read from beginning to end.

A library with a variety of topics to choose from will inspire my kids to lose themselves in every new title they read.

Having a class set of different titles will also be a treat for students so that we can all hold a book in our hands and follow along as we take turns reading. Doing this as a student myself is a fond memory I hold dear and hope it will do the same for my students.
