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 love learning about people, events, and places in history! These books will make a difference by giving details and easier to read details about real things. A lot of our lessons incorporate real events, people that they see on tv and places that they want to visit or have been before. We are trying to show a connection between the real word and everyday events.

These books will help them learn about the world in a new way while giving them the tools to continue their reading journey.

I am excited to read these books to my classes and be able to have discussions and watch videos for all types of learning.
