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

My students love to read and I want to provide them with diversified options that keep them engaged. I need help updating the classroom library that I inherited from the previous teacher. I would like to add recent and diversified titles. I want to add books with characters that help my students feel represented and seen. I want to add books that spark their interest and help nourish their love for reading. I want to add books that they can relate to. Please help me update my classroom library. I would greatly appreciate it!
