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

Celebrating National Read Across America Week has ignited my students love for books during our read-alouds. I enjoy reading to my students and love creating an atmosphere of interactive story-time. All of these Dr. Seuss books have been chosen with my students in mind with colorful illustrations that bring stories alive with excitement. This project will open the doors for my students during whole group reading and will make a great addition to our class library.

These Dr. Seuss books will continue to enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create.

My students will be able to choose appropriate books, which will help them foster their love of books.
