Books Are Food ForYour Brain

Help me give my students a better love for reading! I want them to see that reading is not a gruesome task to fear, but instead an amazing activity to love!

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 have a hard couple of years due to COVID so I want to spice up my classroom library and bring them a joy for learning! They are insanely smart and have a lot of love to give but in reading they sometimes have difficulty meeting the standards of others. I hope that I can bring my students the joy of reading that I learned when I was in the 8th grade! I think if they can find the right book, they will see that reading is a joyous activity!
