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

My fifth graders are kind, curious and excited about school! They have come to our school from all over the world and share one thing- they love to learn. My students are fascinated by the world around them and are discovering the ways in which they can contribute to making the world a better place.

My Project

My goal is to provide my students with a well rounded classroom library with something for everyone. We currently have a few Greek myths in graphic novel form and they are always checked out. My students are obsessed and have been asking for more graphic novels! These books will be read in class and students will be able to take them home as well.

About half of my students are English Language Learners and the picture support in graphic novels does wonders to build vocabulary and enhance comprehension.

All of the books in this project have been chosen because they are very popular and widely requested.
