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

My students love to read and write stories! I always try to keep a wide variety of books for the students to choose from. They also get to take books home for homework reading and to share with their family.

With these materials, my students will be able to have more books in Spanish and English in class to help build their reading skills.

They will also have additional materials to write stories and summaries about what they read.

Learning will definitely be supported by having these materials in the classroom.We will use the pencils, the pencil sharpener, the books and the other materials in the classroom on a daily basis.
