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 developing a desire to read for pleasure. I want to provide my students with a class set of Small Spaces to engage them in a thrilling, age-appropriate horror novel that will keep them turning pages.

By introducing students to a variety of genres, including suspense and mystery, I hope to expand their love for reading and help them discover new interests.

A whole-class novel builds community, supports rich discussion, and ensures all students can access and enjoy the story together.

With your support, my students will experience the excitement of reading a high-interest novel while strengthening critical thinking, comprehension, and collaboration skills.
