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

I am a new Kindergarten teacher and we start every day with a story that the students pick and I read aloud. The students love the stories and I love the connections and discussions that we have.

I would like to be able to give the students a variety of books to choose from for our read-aloud time, as well as be able to have them out in the classroom for them to look at on their own.

The book bins are to keep the books organized as our library grows.
