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

Our students come from diverse backgrounds. The need for these books is key to continue to help our students and families to build a love for reading. Families and their little ones will be able to choose their book, which will help them continue to enjoy reading time at home. All of these books have been chosen with our students in mind. They are not just diverse, but they are friendly and colorful illustrations for our age group.

With these new books, our little ones and their families will be able to choose from a variety of books that will allow them to hear and read in their very own home language and grow for their love for reading!

At every opportunity our little ones are read too in their home language in the classroom, why not continue this great experience at home with their families!
