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

Learning how to read is an essential skill in order to be successful in life. This is what I want for my students. My kids need literature that is at their level that they can decode easily. I want to provide my students with books that they can read at their independent reading levels. My students will be motivated to read books they can read and enjoy reading. They will be empowered and become life long learners. They will have books in their classroom library that they can choose from.
