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

My students are excited and eager to learn and be back in school full time. We have built a classroom community where they can build and share their ideas with others. They really enjoy exploring and hands-on activities that benefit their learning and show their understanding.

My Project

My students are eager to learn. They love books and I would like to be able to get a bigger variety of books in our library for my excited students to choose from. These books will help immensely with giving them different variations and topics to choose from based on their reading levels and interests as well. My students have a love for books and I want to continue that growth for learning with giving them numerous opportunities to continue their passion to learn and practice their skills for reading.
