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 am beyond excited to have the opportunity for my students to have access to some of my favorite book series and authors!

Jan Brett, Kevin Henkes, Jory John and Pig the Pug series all are first grade friendly, are diverse in genre and style, and are amazing tools and stories to use for teaching.

A book study is definitely something I'd love! It's amazing to get the kids in love with reading as well as writing.

Unfortunately my school does not provide books besides renting from the library and I want kids to have access to books all the time in my class
