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 6th grade readers are deepening their love of reading! The titles selected are high interest books at a variety of reading levels that will make sure to capture the attention of every student.

This project will be sure to ignite the imagination of my students and open up new worlds.

At the same time, they will be strengthening their reading skills and expanding their vocabulary.

My 6th graders are eager to learn and are curious to explore new authors and genres. Please help in making this possibility a reality.
