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

As school is back in full swing, we all are excited be back in the classroom and get our hands on books. I have been working extra hard the past years to get my students to become readers and enjoy reading while learning important life skills.

I believe if I have a good collection of stories for the kids to read that interest them, they will want to continue to read on their own at home and find a love for reading!

My classroom could always use some extra engaging books for the kids to shine in their reading! In first grade, they LOVE the author Mo Willems and the Pete the Cat books. I included many different books from those authors plus some for for them to check out. Reading is critical and books that interest them are key. The wobble stool is for the kids to read on so they are even more engaged and the plush animals are reading buddies for the kids to read to.

Thank you so much for helping me create a love for reading for my kids.
