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

I love how much my students enjoy learning about other cultures, traditions and people. My goal is to open their minds and knowledge about the world around us and be more accepting and welcoming citizens. These books will allow me to expand their understanding of the world.

With these books I will be able to give lessons about diverse characters and it will allow students to build their reading skills.

Students will be able to read these books during independent reading time as well. I appreciate your time and consideration in supporting my students!
