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

Help my students, our future leaders, grow our library with different books to start them on their reading journey. Even though they might not be the ones reading yet, they enjoy new books to look at the pictures and create their own stories, and also listen to me read the stories. So, help us grow our library with more books to continue to grow and develop their imaginations.

My students enjoy being in our classroom library picking up the books and either creating new stories, or, retelling the ones they have heard with new books.

This will be able to expand their knowledge.
