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 Students

My 22 third-graders are a group of smart, enthusiastic learners who deserve books they can fall in love with! I am on a mission provide them with a classroom library that fosters a love of reading.

I work at a Title 1 Elementary school in Lawrence, MA.

Despite the many challenges faced at home, my students come to school ready to learn. I want to be able to support students at all reading levels and help them becoming lifelong readers.

My Project

The school recently provided classrooms with some new books and it is incredible to see how engaged the students have become in their reading. A large focus of this list is for the lower level readers, as I do not have many high-interest texts for this group of students.

We are working on building "Reading Lives" in my classroom.

Having engaging books in our library will provide every student in my class the opportunity to fall in love with reading and build a "reading life!" They helped me create this list and are ready to read! Thank you so much!
