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 kindergarten students love books! They love to look at the pictures and enjoy listening to stories.

The Adam Wallace series of children's books would be a perfect addition to our classroom library.

We have a new rug for our library so students can sit and relax with a book. They can read by themselves, with a buddy, or with a stuffed animal. The Adam Wallace series of books are so creative and funny and little people enjoy them so much! Reading is so much fun and such an important part of their foundation to have the skills they need to be successful in first grade.
