Help me give my students books to enhance their reading in our classroom.

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

I work with a large culturally and linguistically diverse group of amazing learners, which includes K-3rd grade levels. Our classroom environment is warm, welcoming, and student-friendly. My students are an amazing group of individuals with various abilities. Our classroom is full of students who are ready to learn and who will persist. My students are motivated to learn, want to be at school, and want to succeed.

These books will be added to our monthly theme bins and will be read aloud during that selected month.

Having a wide collection of books will enhance my students listening comprehension and their love for books will continue to grow.
