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

How would you like to have the opportunity to take a group of children on a magical train called, The Polar Express?

The Polar Express will teach students the importance of friendship, bravery, and the true spirit of Christmas.

By purchasing this book you will give me the opportunity to teach my students through the lens of imagination. It would be wonderful to be able to have enough copies of this book for each of my third grade students when teaching this lesson.

Thank you so much for investing in my students!

Ms. Hutchins
Grades 3-5
