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

With Christmas coming up, all my kids have on their mind is how much free time they will have on their upcoming breaks. With this time, they will do many things like sleeping and playing, but as a teacher, I would love for them to read!

With this project, my kids will be able to read up on a subject they enjoy!

The kids will be able to each get a book of their choosing that they keep and read at their pace all while enjoying something they like and something I also like for them to do.

Ms. Almanza Almeda Elementary School Grades 3-5
