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 created this project with the goal of revamping the literature circles my students participate in by adding contemporary, diverse, and engaging texts into our fantasy and fiction units. My students currently read novels in the fantasy, historical fiction, and realistic fiction genres. However, the options I have in my classroom could use an update for a new generation of young and growing minds. I chose the texts on my wish list with the goal of hooking the young readers in my classroom with relatable and diverse characters and stories.
