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

Books take you places, and I love reading amazing books to my students.

My pre-kinder students will thrive and learn so much with these multicultural and diverse books that will teach them about holidays in February; such as Black History Month, Groundhog Day, Valentines, Day, Presidents' Day, and Lunar Year.

I believe their understanding of these special dates will be greatly enriched with the help of these books. I sincerely hope I can show them what these amazing authors and illustrators created through these books. They will be the perfect addition to our library, and will be used for many years to come.
