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 always eager to learn. Some of them, however, are reading below grade level. They need access to materials that are easy to read but also mentally fulfilling. They need to succeed to continue growing, but they can also not afford to fall behind reading something that does not stimulate their minds.

These books will not only help them to improve their reading, but will also help them retain important educational facts.

My students enjoy good books. These will keep them engaged and learning, and will make them feel successful.
