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

I am a 4th Grade Dual Language teacher at a title 1 school in Florida. My students come from diverse economic and academic backgrounds. My goal this year is for all my students to become proficient readers and to excel in comprehension and vocabulary. My students need new and exciting books in different genres to excel in reading. By providing a classroom library with a variety of genres, I can motivate more students to develop a love for reading.

Help give my students an opportunity to read amazing new books such as Cryptic Hunters, I Survived, Warriors and What is Series.

These amazing set of books will captivate their interest and make reading this school year more enjoyable.
