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

My students are bright, creative, hard working, and life-long learners. They come to class ready to try their best, and they strive for excellence on the daily. I would love to reward their efforts with independent reading books that they find engaging and exciting. After reading these books, they get to take a quiz to demonstrate their understanding. I hope to provide them with a fun pencil or sticker after they finish their book!

I teach 6th grade, so I am the first English teacher students have in middle school.

I set the tone for their English education throughout their middle/high school career, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I would LOVE to set them up for success by giving them books to read during independent reading time in our class and at home!

Thank you so much for considering donating to our project!
