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

As I head into my third year of teaching, I have a clearer vision of how to foster a love for reading and build a strong classroom community. This project will help me create a more engaging classroom library, along with a welcoming space where students feel safe, seen, and excited to learn. With these resources, I can encourage deeper connections through stories and support every student’s journey as a reader and community member. Your support will make a lasting impact on our classroom culture and growth. I thank you in advance for your contribution to my classroom!
