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

These novels and texts that I am requesting are connected to our StudySync classroom curriculum. My students get amazing exposure to a variety of authors and texts through this new reading platform, but sometimes the work we touch upon really excite the students.

Having the complete books available in my classroom for students to read will allow my students to reach beyond the curriculum and engage with the author and the text fully.

Sometimes only reading a part of a story isn't enough, especially when the story is so intriguing. That's why I am asking for all of those novels and story collections.
