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

In our class it’s important to acquire new materials all the time for my students, that’s why I feel the importance to incorporate new elements in our class library, to catch their eye and promote their interest into new stories and knowledge about famous artists and their works.

With the addition of new books, my students can amplify their knowledge and abilities to transform stories in art projects, increasing their ability to adapt and create.

The experience of reading a book is always productive for every student and all of their subjects. I want to transmit my enthusiasm into a diversity of tools in my classroom, which is a safe place for kids to create and express their emotions and feelings. Your generosity will impact our school and students who always demonstrate their joy for new adventures.

Thanks in advance for your kindness.
