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 students are curious and enthusiastic about learning new things. They want to learn from the world around them and providing Spanish books will help them in this endeavor. This is what makes them unique, their ability to keep searching for answers!

My Project

Help me give my students Life Science and Physical Science Readers in their native language. Providing students with these books will help them gain a deeper understanding of science which will lead to in-depth discussions in the classroom.

Having these books will reinforce and enrich their science experience.

I want to instill a passion for learning science. My students love to learn and their curiosity will certainly grow if we provide them with books that they can relate to and comprehend.

Reading these books will help them gain background knowledge in science. I know we can enrich these students' lives if we place a book in their hands.
