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

These books would be the perfect addition to our classroom library. I recognize that my students love to read comic books and I would like to expand our collection. Every book added to my classroom is also done so with the end goal of targeting my students' reading levels and helping them improve as readers.

Exposure to new books promotes a sense of curiosity and love for reading.

My students will have more books to choose from, which will help them continue to enjoy reading while also helping them develop reading stamina and fluency.
