Celebrating 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 love that my students are enthusiastic about reading and are always striving to become better readers. They enjoy gathering around our small classroom library to read and share their thoughts about the book being read.
The best conversations and writing topics are always inspired by our readings.
As we begin a new school year, I would love to be able to provide a more ample reading variety at home for my eager readers. These amazing book sets, The Crayons and finger puppets will motivate my students to strengthen their love for reading at school and at home.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
