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 Students

I have a classroom filled with curious, eager, and innovative little learners!! During such difficult times, my Dual Immersion Kindergarten students sure know how to accentuate the positive in every situation. My bilingual kindergartners embrace our hybrid learning model by attending class with a positive attitude and willingness to actively participate in their learning!

My Project

There’s an extraordinary world waiting to be discovered by the future in my classroom, my students! Books bring magic into our lives and my little learners need the magic of books to help them grow and shine through their learning and these unprecedented times.

Please help me make a difference with the magic of books to read and share with my students.

Not only will these books help me introduce literature to my students with characters and circumstances they can relate to, but they will also play a significant and positive influence in the lives of my students! Books are the magic that not only expands my students' minds but also fills up their hearts.
