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

Having a nice library in the classroom is essential because it encourages a love for reading, builds literacy skills, and supports independent learning. A well stocked, inviting library offers students access to diverse books that match their interests and reading levels, helping them become confident, curious readers.

It creates a quiet space for exploration, imagination, and knowledge building, while also supporting curriculum goals across subjects.

A classroom library promotes equity by ensuring all students have access to quality reading materials every day, nurturing a lifelong passion for learning and discovery.
