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

Students are eating my pencils! Please help refill my pencils due to hungry students. I didn't think that was a thing, but that HAS to be what is happening, right?

Majority of this project is to get more reading material in the classroom.

Students crave new books and seem more interested in reading when new books enter the classroom. It has been a struggle this year to pique their interest and maintain it. I hope that by bringing in new books into the room, there will be a surge of interest again.
