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

We want to build a classroom library which can provide opportunities to building an interest in reading for enjoyment, develop knowledge about science and about STEM careers, and celebrate diversity.

Many of these titles are young reader adaptations of popular books for adults, such as Hidden Figures.

Others are fictional stories written for middle school students around a scientific them, such as Bees on the Roof and Mosquitoes Don't Bite Me. Other titles are purely science content books for the genuine science enthusiast.

I will keep looking for more titles, and I welcome your recommendations! Thanks for all your support.
