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 transitional kindergarten students bring energy and joy to our Zoom meetings.

Their smiles and enthusiasm make my day every day, and it is a great reminder to me why I became an educator.

I love my transitional kindergarten scholars!

My Project

The opportunity to tackle real world situations through literature is powerful. I read to my students multiple times during the day, however my resources needs a boost of great picture books with meaningful messages that teach kindness and tolerance. We need books that will get students thinking about others and the power they have to make a difference.

It is my hope that by planting the seeds of kindness and tolerance in my young students through literature and discussions that the culture of caring and kindness will blossom into a community of students that will become powerful thinking caring people.

What better way to help build a caring community than through creating an environment of empathy and respect for one another than through rich literature!
