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 love books and interactive resources in the classroom. Being home during the pandemic really stunted them academically. I want my classroom to be a place where they feel excited to come and participate and new books and engaging seating help make that a reality! I want my students to be excited to learn and I want to introduce them to all that books have to offer. My hope is that they take this love for learning beyond the 4th-grade classroom and become diverse learners and expert critical thinkers.
