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 come from a low-income community where schooling has been a hard-reachable dream. Their parents work in fields due to little or no schooling. These parents work hard to have their children have more than what they had. As educators, we have the responsibility to help our students have a bright future.

Let us help our future generation reach their educational dream through books.

Having books in class will allow them to expand their vocabulary and reach a higher education. Reading is the key. Having our classroom full of books will allow each student the opportunity to reach a higher comprehension level.
