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

Each year, our school learns about Hispanic History, Asian History and Black History. I want to provide plenty of resources (in the classroom) where they can be independent in their research when learning about historical figures.

My goal is to have easily accessible biographies for my students to have all year long.

No more having to check the school library for a biography only to find out it has already been checked out. Some students are only interested in non-fiction text and appreciate having a plethora of books to choose from, right in our very own classroom.

My students are special because they are much more motivated to read than students from prior years. I want to continue to give them that motivation by providing them with easy access to numerous genres, including biographies.
