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 have the more wonderful group of students this year. Our classroom has been booming with learning and laughter. I feel so lucky to be their teacher and bring joy to their lives.

As we build our library with some new books, I have asked students what they would like to read.

These books are their picks for this winter season. I would love to send these books home for them to snuggle up and read during our rainy season. Encouraging reading withe materials and topics they like is so important. Teaching a love of reading is my favorite part of educating my children.
