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 first grade class is studying the author, Laura Numeroff. My students love her circular stories and funny animal characters. We read each book and compare the characters, note the settings, and the sequence of events, and we even try to write our own stories in Laura Numeroff's style. I have a few of these books, but would like more so that my students may read them independently in our own classroom library. When my students love an author, they are more motivated to read! Help us build our classroom library!
