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 into mystery books and are always searching for the right book to read. I want to be able to have a classroom library with a variety of books to help them be engaged and so that they build the stamina they need for their state testing. Building stamina is important, so I plan to assign them a chapter book a week for them to read and take a quiz on. They will be able to take one home for reading at home too. My students will have a choice!
