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 adore the unique qualities each of my students brings to the classroom, from their diverse backgrounds to their boundless curiosity. Guided reading books are essential because they cater to the individual needs and interests of each student, fostering a love for reading while simultaneously honing their skills. With every set of books carefully selected, I envision my students delving into captivating stories that resonate with them, sparking their imaginations and deepening their understanding of the world around them. These books serve as vehicles for exploration, offering opportunities for rich discussions and meaningful connections. Through guided reading, my students not only sharpen their comprehension and critical thinking abilities but also cultivate a lifelong passion for learning and discovery.
