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 students love to read and I love to encourage that reading! Each year we celebrate Polar Express day the last day of school before students leave for Winter Break. Students and staff wear their comfy pajamas to school. My team helps me pass out hot chocolate, cookies, and bells while the classes watch the Polar Express movie. When I started in my new position in the library, I also started a new tradition. We pass out a brand-new, wrapped book in each student’s home language. The students love the gift and I love that we are helping go grow their home library. The books I am asking for will help with my bilingual Kinder and 1st grade friends!
