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 kindergartners are curious, energetic, full of questions, ready to be filled with information, and love to be read to!

Books are so important in everyone's lives!

We can learn so much from books and help us understand many things we can't understand fully!

I want to bring different books that will have examples, learn from, can relate to, and we can open up conversations about different subjects! The books, I want to bring into our classroom are about kindness, diversity, empathy, and social emotional learning!

I want all of my students to feel included as well as to learn that we are all different but a great asset to the world!
