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

With this project, my students in the dual language Spanish program will have access to a variety of books of their interest in Spanish. They will be able to access Harry Potter and Marvel comic books and practice their reading skills in the language they are learning; Spanish. This project will also allow students easy access to books they will be able to read them during class time and for homework with our book clubs. Access to literacy is something that no teacher should worry about and with this project, I will have tools and resources to support my students learning in Spanish.
