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 have an upcoming poem writing unit. We do not have access to many books of poems in our classroom or in our school library. I recently brought out the one Shel Silverstein book I do have, and the students want more!

Please help me inspire my budding poets with poetry books for kids by famous poets including Maya Angelou, Robert Frost, Emily Dickinson, and Jack Prelutsky.

I also included books on how to write poems, both for my students and myself! I am first to admit that poetry writing is tough for me, but I want to learn more so I can be a resource for my young poets.
