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

Help me get an electric bookbinding machine so that I can make all the books for my students that we use throughout the year. I like to create books for the children to use to help them keep all their materials together. My students have constellation books to practice researching, fairy tale books for genre study, a geography and mapping book, and more. I also put all the children's work from a winter holidays study into a book.

Not only do these books keep loose papers from getting lost, but they also have a feeling of more importance to the families.

I love the look on the parents' faces at Open House at the end of the year when they see all the work and learning their child has done all year long. The children are also very proud of themselves as they go through their work.
