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 are hard workers and love to listen to me read. The only problem is when they are on their own with a book they love, they cant read it. Why? My students are 4/5 years old and just starting their reading journey. So why stress them out with a book they cant read words to and eventually get them to hate books, when they can have the chance to enjoy the love of books with a little me. A Tony Box. The tony box will build their love of reading and help them when they are ready to try and read a book on their own and not be forced to read.
