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

Help me enrich my Kindergarten students reading instruction with the help of authentic and relevant bilingual books! This selection of books will expose my amazing Kinder students to diverse and quality bilingual literature while allowing me to teach the grade level standards. I will be using these books for weekly read alouds to teach new vocabulary and reading comprehension strategies in both English and Spanish. All of the books included will help enhance our classroom. I strive to help cultivate a true love for reading and literature within my bilingual students.
