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 diverse group of second graders are avid readers and are constantly on the hunt for a new book to sink their teeth into! In my classroom, my students read for at least 40 minutes every day so they are always "book shopping" in our library. They get so excited whenever we add a new book to our library!

My low level readers need more books on their level and my high readers need more of a challenge to continue pushing them!

It is essential to keep an extensive amount of books on diverse topics and on various levels so every reader is motivated to continue reading.

My second graders have also recently become very interested in chapter books and, unfortunately, our chapter book selection is not as thorough as we would like it to be!
