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

The books in this cart are needed for the educational growth of the students in our classroom. Each book added to this cart is a part of a variety of books which will add to the growing culture of our classroom. Children in our classroom have requested some of these books as they feel they are relatable to them and to their reading interests. These books will also be used to create small reading groups for the different reading levels and interests of the students. Reading in small groups is a classroom favorite.
