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 Mrs. Holmes' classroom, we love to READ! Books that emphasize appreciating the world around us and moments of quiet, books that have dry and nuanced humor, books that teach us about other cultures and people, and the list of books goes on!

Please help us add to our beloved classroom library with these amazing books!

Some of them are phonics books for emerging readers, some are nonfiction books to satisfy the brains of my curious students, and some are classic books to read in moments when my kids need quiet and a calm reset.

To foster a love of reading, learning, and curiosity in students is the best part of my day. These skills and interests will create engaging and balanced students and beyond!
