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 Students

I have a very diverse range of students and my students come from a variety of demographics.

I currently have over 140 students and they are requesting books that peak their interest and that they can relate to.

These books will do just that!

My Project

The books listed in my cart will help my students become avid readers. These are book that my students are interested, and I am excited to have books in my classroom that they will want to read. These books also relate to my current classroom demographic and will help my students feel included. I look forward to my students receiving these books that they can instantly relate to because they include their culture and interests. My goal is to get every one of my students to WANT to read more.
