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

Books can take you to worlds you never dreamed of. Whether it's back in time learning about history or through the lens of a girl or boy just like you!

Who doesn't love going on adventures?

Novels teach more than our required English Language Arts concepts and reading strategies. They teach us about life and how to deal with challenges. Finding stories students can connect with or plots that springboard their desire to write is not always easy, but having a variety of books we can use in English and Spanish will help make the job a little easier.
