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

I am a Kindergarten teacher who always has a group of students eager to learn to read!! My students start the year not knowing how to read and once they see they can, they are super excited to read! The books I am requesting will allow my students to practice the reading skills they have already learned.

My students need appropriate books for them to practice.

The books that I have requested are very colorful and inviting to children. Along with this the books will cover skills that we have already learned. My students will become independent readers with the help of these books!!
