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 are learning about loving literacy. While I read daily, I would like to add some books about letters because they are doing a great job of learning their letters and sounds.

Helping the students about why we have spent so much time learning the letters and the sounds is why I picked out the books I did.

My students are so curious about letters they will love the books.

I plan on allowing the students to use these books because they must be able to touch turn pages and enjoy the books themselves.
