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

As the school year has begun and students have been browsing my classroom library, requests have come in for certain titles! I want to be able to provide my students with books that interest them to ensure they are engaged in their learning! Reading is an extremely important subject in school and in order for students to fall in love with reading they need to have books that interest them.

My students are ready to read and battle each other on their knowledge of the books they read!

My goal is to provide them with fresh copies of books that I do not have in my classroom library that they can use to battle it out for who has read the most, who remembers the most and who enjoyed the books the most! It is going to be a wonderful battle to behold! My students are eager to start reading!
